oh crap, im getting nervous now cos i think i MITE have forgotton to put the "+ c" after i integrated in question 1 in paper 2
Maybe its just after exam nerves but im thinking bak and i still cant remember if i did put the "+ c" in.
how many marks do u lose for not putting plus c in?

I can't imagine them taking any more than one mark off

Yeah, they only deduct one mark if you miss something like "+ C" or "dx", something like that. That what I used to always forget and I lost only one mark by doing that...lucky. However, I'm panicking about the function combination question "h(x)=g(f(x))" as I always make mistakes in those...
Even more panicky about the differentiation question. How many marks do you reckon they will take off for having 7³=313 instead of 7³=343?

I noticed the discussion about P2, Q4b earlier in the paper. I got 50.9 for the angle also. Those who thought it was 36 something? The angle doesn't look like it could be any less than 45degrees but I could be wrong.

Yeah, you can lose marks for not writing "dx" or "+ C". Don't believe me? Ask your Maths teacher next time you see him/her. Anyway, about the angle question, I got 80 something degree. I think my answer is correct however...

Paper 2 Q8
I am writing out solutions which I will soon put on the web.
Just done P2 Q8 and proved the answer but can't see how it is worth 5 marks.
Can anyone check this and see if I missed something?
Cheers!
ksin2x = sinx
2ksinxcosx = sinx (double angle substitution)
2kcosx = 1 (divide by sinx)
cosx = 1/2k
Proved!
Generous at 4 marks I thought but 5?!*?

Or you could do:
2ksinxcosx = sinx, subtract:
2ksinxcosx - sinx = 0
sinx(2kcosx - 1) = 0
so sinx = 0 and 2kcosx - 1 = 0
therfore cosx = 1/2k.
Harder but also correct
Ignore this post as people have already talked about it.

OK, I worked out the solutions for question 4 in 2nd paper as so many people had been asking for them, and the angle came out to 50.9
so I realised I got the wrong answer. >=( Solution is below. Vector names have to have arrows on the top but crappy keyboard lacks arrows (or huge brackets for component form)

= (-5, 15, 1)
TB=b-t
=(-40, 15, 2)
b) TA.TB=ta

I also followed all those steps and got something like 70 degrees. Hopefully will still get 3 marks though

well, at least I done the method correctly but I still got the wrong answer. I am quite confident I got the coordinates as they look familiar and I must have checked it a few times. Hopefully I got 5/7 PLEAAAASSSEEEE!!! GOD
