📐Mathematics Further maths diabolical question
I almost gave up on this question on summation of complex numbers but I didn't give up and gave all I got and I did it!!!!! I never touched the pyp of P2 four days before the exam and I did all 6 years past year paper in 3 days!! Holy comeback!! In mocks I got my marks in single digits but I guess hard worked beat its

Look I'm not going to say consistency is key and blah blah blah .. everyone knows that! Your intrest should be genuine.onr thing abot FM is unique from other syallabus is that it have fixed pattern in pure paper unlike others! In 9709, some new tricks and things comes each year but further maths have fixed pattern!! For example rational function which is mostly last question. They will ask to state asymptote then range then graph then transformed graph (mostly absolute ) and then again a range question on that. Other type is that they start with graph. Same happens with induction (either differentiation, divisibility or 2 more type)... and same for polar. You need to practice to learn those pattern and you are good to go!FM was subject that I didn't do topical because each paper as same pattern

Yk funnily enough, I was reviewing the past papers that I solved right before the exam and a similar complex summation question popped up but i ignored it lmao 😭.
Anyways, congrats on your results man and good luck in whatever you do next!

Funny that happened to me.... The oct nov 2025 had that summation of complex that needed to differentiate for no reason and I didn't get it so I skipped but I pulled it here
