in question 9 part (i) when i take the scalor product the answer comes out to be zero doesn't that show that they are perpendicular so how come its showing they are parallel please help quickly:)
u're taking the scalar product of n [vctor perpendicular to the plane] and b[direction vector of the line]...if line and plane are parallel..then the vector perpendicular to the plane should also be perpendicular to the line ;) so u get it as zero

question 6 part (i) whatever i try i end up with sin(pie-x) how come its just sin x please help :)
sin (pi -x) = sinx....remember? angle in the first 2 quadrants are same and positive for sin? ;)
i have to go so i didnt check the question...but all i can tell u is...dont forget sin(pi -x) = sin x

similarly sin(pi +x) = -sin x [angle in the third quadrant]

Can someone tell me how to "simplify the coefficients" of a binomial expansion?
For example: 32-32x + 48x^2

I believe it was one of the hardest of papers! what do u think the grade required for A will be? and how'd ur class mates do? were they in the same misery?
Im the only person doin A levels at my school.. so my only compariosn is you guys. And I hadn't studied much so I can't say but it seemed pretty tough... but the threshold for maths is always very high .. so maybe 60?
