Fucking had no clue on that question. I knew we had to use similarity but i couldn't find the shorter length. Spent ~20 minutes trying to figure it out, until i gave up.

(r^3)/a or something like that. I always mess up those questions, so that'll be wrong.

Anyone use parabolas to work out the height? And a straight line to work out the width? (for the volumes question)

I looked at the volumes one for a minute before moving on. Wasn't going to waste time on a question I knew I wouldn't get an answer to.

I did, then i thought it would be much too hard for a 4 mark q. So I just used the circle- but it seems to be wrong, as it's not. Shame you can't put two answers.

Hey seamieg89 what did you get for the volumes question. It's question 14.

Rushed that question, i think i got (ar^2)/3. Polynomial was the hardest Q, absolutely no clues.

That's what I got. I probably messed up somewhere, but judging by the similarity of other answers (assuming one of those is correct), this should get at least 3/4.
