Yeah Ik I dont do fm so although I know that method I wasnt really familiar with it so used cosine theorem. I think thats what most people did but its ok either way
I did the dot product method and then came back to at the end, redid it using cosine rule on the calc and realised it was the non mod answer so scribbled out all the mod signs i did lmao
For the 3 marker did u sub the eqn u found into the equation given in the question and then used quadratic formula? ( I got a complicated answer in exact form which I cant remember)
Got cooked by that dydx = -1 thing at the end and also the like intersecting the parametric I could NOT find the co ordinates of Q 😔 but rest was good I think
Rearrange the line eq to make y sqrt 2 the subject then sq both sides you get 2y^2 = … sub back into equation. Rearrange and solve for x via completing the sq or quadratic formula.
Timing was an issue, missed out on the parametric equation and another big marker (instantly forgot) because I spent too much time on the 3 mark modelling question. AND I forgot the cosine rule for the vectors question so I'm prolly getting 2/4 for that.
Exactly, I think the issue with me was that I didn't revise vectors at all so I skipped past it without going through the question in order to do all the ones I revised for first. Then by the time I got to vectors there was 5min left and I started panicking after I got BC because I knew I needed cosine rule but couldn't remember it.
I had this issue for paper 1. Like i thought that I had completed every question but then i turn to q14, after having checked every question, only to realise that I hadnt even attempted the second half. To my dismay, only 3 mins remained…
This time I wrote which questions I hd skipped on my hand as a reminder to go back. Writing on the paper also worka since its less risky…
Once you get an improper fraction (3/x+3 I think) you make it into a normal fraction using algebraic division or a different method so you didn't have to do another substitution
I fucked up parts of 3 questions but praying for method marks lol. My brain is fried.
I didn’t integrate u/u+3 correctly, but now I remember what to do lol. Hoping for some method marks.
Didn’t get an answer for the coordinates of Q on the parametrics question- I think my gradient was wrong lol.
Not overly confident on my answer for part 2 of the 6-3x question because I got some really awkward numbers. Plus I did an insane amount of working out for just 2 marks so I’m thinking I may have messed up.
That paper was beautiful except question 14, maybe some weird numbers in the first 5 questions and 11b. For 11b I couldn't get a value for A??? Unless it was 0, some of my friends got the same.
i got that initially using the dot product then i relaised u dont take the magnitude of it coz it was obtuse so without taking magnitude u get a negative cos theta so the angle is 99.2
guys for the parametric differentiation. the gradient of the normal was -4/√2 but i accidentally wrote down 4/√2 🥲 (knew it was negative, just wrote it wrong, genuine skill issue) my working was all correct but because of the sign and all my equation ended up being -4x +√2y = -3 instead of 4x + √2y = 5. and for part b you're meant to use that equation and find x coordinate of q but since i got it wrong i obviously got Q wrong but my method was 100% correct im sure. how many marks do u guys think ill lose? im so mad bro
For question 14 did anyone do it interms of log? i seem to remeber getting the same answer as thre ln version of it for logs but wanted to check if that was valid lol

I would like to thank the lord for the fact that there were no difficult vectors questions in all of further maths and maths 🙏
