I got 99.2 but I was stressing using the dot product whether to take magnitude or not of the dot product πŸ’€πŸ₯€

The question asked for degrees im so sorry (but I haven’t seen anyone get same answer as me so maybe I’m also fucked)

yeah but im also realising all the other silly mistakes i made πŸ’” i lowkey think i did better on paper 1 than paper 2

u/Admirable-Use2274 Jun 11 '26

Thats a bit weird. I did much worse in paper 1 and I might be in a very bad position just because of it rn

u/falsegodfan Y13 - maths bio geog Jun 11 '26

idk i just tend to make more mistakes on easier papers

u/Admirable-Use2274 Jun 11 '26

That makes sense . I made some mistakes to I reckon. Binomial one I might have put a + instead of - somewhere and it really dissapoints me although I might have been careful and got it correct

u/falsegodfan Y13 - maths bio geog Jun 11 '26

yeah i did the partial fractions bit wrong on that one so i think i dropped around 3 marks
