Did anyone not get the induction? It seemed really easy.

5 is definitely D. Pair them up, to make 6! ways. Then x by 2! (=2) since C and L can be in any order. Also 11fii) multiples of 4.

For 14biii), I actually found no angles that worked simultaneously for both. Question problem, or what? Test out your values of theta and see if they satisfy both equations

Idk about most of you..
but I found the test really hard -___- i couldnt do any of question 14 and i didn't get the probability right at ALL...
I got 1MC wrong, didn't know how to draw any of the graphs, got bits wrong here and there (ie. the newtons method & where that equation has a non-zero constant)
overal.. GG no more E4 for me, maybe not even an E3

awww dw mate, just hope the cut off for E4 falls to around 40 XD

I got an answer which corresponded with others, it was somewhere around 70-80 degrees

Seeing everyone found it easy I don't think so :(
I only got 40/70 for trials lmao and I'm feeling worse now than how I felt during trials... so my mark might be even lower

ATLEAST 20-30 people will get a 100

edit:
i think wayyy more than that actually.

Didn't get the 2 mark circle geo + think I lost 1 mark in projectile part iii (fml) (and I'm SHIT at 3u)

hopefully no sillies.

Any chance of taking marks off for abbreviating "simple harmonic motion" to SHM?

EDIT: Wrong question. I didn't get c(ii)
You have to take 0.3 away from C(T) to find a new polynomial/equation, which you then use to estimate, so you get 22.something

t = 1.511s. Subbed it in, it works. I'm gonna kick myself if there's a smaller solution.

what did youse do for Q.13) c) ii)
you change the equation into Rcos(nt-whatever) = -5
then you work it out. I got 1.5 seconds or something like that (i probably solved it wrong knowing myself)

Depends on the context. If it's obvious you're talking about simple harmonic motion I doubt it.
Given you're saying "therefore the particle is moving in SHM" I'm sure you'll be fine.
