I know and I got my mistake. I forgot multiply by -1 when differentiating...so I got the equation of the tangent wrong too (i got -.5 + x wheh it was +.5 + x) and so i got the area wrong too. Is there ecf in p1?
The equation of the tangent of the graph (8 - sqrt(4-x)) was y = 0.5x +5.5. However if your method was partially correct you will get M marks and yes there is an ecf in P1

What was the G.P ratio.Mine was 1/4 since after solving the simultaneous method involving D and R,I got two values (1,1/4). hence since the question say's the ratio is npt equal to 1.the other value 1/4 was to be taken.

The ratio was 1.5
In the sequence questions, in part one, we were asked to find common ratio only, right?
yes

The ratio was not equal to 1 yes. What kind of an equation did you solve. The question was:
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd terms of a geometric progression are the 1st, 9th and 21st terms of an arithmetic progression. The first term of both is 8. The ratio is not equal to 1. Find the common ratio.

8r=8+8d
divivde all by 8 it will be r=1+d
then subistitute it in 8r2=8+20d
8(1+d)2=8+20d
8(1+d2+2d)=8+20d
8+8d2+16d=8+20d
8 will cacel with 8 so 8d2+16d-20d=0
take d common d(8d-4)=0
d=0 which is rejected
8d-4=0 which maked d=0.5
put d=0.5 in r=1+d and r=1.5 thats answer
