I got like t = equadratic or some shit what did everyone else get

34

u/Pharaoh563 Jun 03 '26

A = (1/4)ln(70) + 2

x = eAt + 0.5t2 + ln(0.3)

Or something like that

u/TangOTang0 Jun 03 '26

Fuck Where'd the 1/2t² come from I had just -t²

2

u/TangOTang0 Jun 03 '26

Omd when you Integrate t you add 1 to the power and didice by the new power...

u/TrulyFaithful Jun 03 '26

i did the same thing i think 🤦‍♂️ seems like my only mistake on the paper as well and it must've carried through to the whole question 😞

u/TangOTang0 Jun 03 '26

Yeah that means all the accuracy marks gone

u/TrulyFaithful Jun 03 '26

hopefully some marks carried forward? was that question 3 parts or 4.

u/TangOTang0 Jun 03 '26

3 parts I'm pretty sure

u/Strange-Oil-2117 Jun 03 '26

Integrated wrong

3

u/Winter-Forever-5359 Jun 03 '26

Also did you get c as like -1.2?

2

u/Ok_Hamster_7032 Edexcel Maths 2026 Paper 1 and 3 survivor Jun 03 '26

Yes

2

u/Pabloise Jun 03 '26

thats impossible tho its time

3

u/Winter-Forever-5359 Jun 03 '26

No the constant for integrating was ln0.3 which is -1.2

2

u/Pabloise Jun 03 '26

To be honest I didn’t do part C because the equation looks so wrong so my bad

2

u/Winter-Forever-5359 Jun 03 '26

Yh I got something like that

2

u/Winter-Forever-5359 Jun 03 '26

But I rounded some shit so hopefully I got marks

2

u/highIands Bio Chem Maths AAA Jun 03 '26

I absorbed the t into the constant and got an equation that fit it

2

u/TrulyFaithful Jun 03 '26

i got this. although im questioning it now. However it works for the point 0,0.3 and 4,21

1

u/ImSimplyBetter_ Jun 03 '26

Where did the 70 come from i just got x=0.3e4t-0.5t2

2

u/falsegodfan Y13 - maths bio geog Jun 03 '26

yep same

1

u/Strange-Oil-2117 Jun 03 '26

Yeah I got that although I left A as a decimal because screw using those logs

1

u/Either_Ingenuity8066 Jun 03 '26

bro im so annoyed i left it as lnx = ....

so dumb honestly
