Maths Paper 42 2013

[Sarah Jawrdawi]

As we all know, this paper will be very difficult due to the lack of hard questions in paper 2.
So the topics that are probably going to come are:
- Transformations
- Trigonometry, Mensuration..etc
- Matrices
- Inequalities and so on
Make sure you study those.

PS. Since it's probably going to be hard, does a total of 175/200 get an A*?

is this normal igcse mathematics or igcse international mathematics?

Normal

 

[Catherine7532]

can v use this formula for compound interest
principal[1+(rate/100)]^no. of years

 

[Sarah Jawrdawi]

can v use this formula for compound interest
principal[1+(rate/100)]^no. of years

of course

 

[DaisyN]

of course

didnt this come in p2?

 

[Sarah Jawrdawi]

didnt this come in p2?

I don't really remember

Nvm the topics and all, maybe just let me know the calculator models allowed for the exam ?

 

[IGCESs monster]

i will not get A* in math ohh my god i am dispersed

 

[notnek01]

someone said that this year nth term ,transformation , and probability are gonna be the main topic coming

Nobody knows (unless someone has leaked the paper). It's impossible to guess what will be on Paper 4, even if you know what was on Paper 2.

[uzair shahid]

in paper 4, nth term and probability are the trickiest question.
most people lose marks in them.

 

[DaisyN]

although the nth term already came on p2, i finished the whole exam then went back to it

 

[Mariam879]

Nth term
If you know these two formuleas then your good
dn+(a-d) (when the 1st diff is the same)
a+(n-1)d+1/2(n-1)(n-2)c (when the 2nd diff is the same)

 

[AttitudE BrakeR]

I don't really remember

it came!!!

 

[TehListener]

Nth term
If you know these two formuleas then your good
dn+(a-d) (when the 1st diff is the same)
a+(n-1)d+1/2(n-1)(n-2)c (when the 2nd diff is the same)

Can you be more specific about each letter in this formula and the whole formula and I didn't really understand the "if 1 or 2 diff. same" so could you please be more specific with one or two examples from the past paper 4

 

[$$AK$$]

how can i solve sequence questions
is there a formula that i have to memorise???

di) is 4 because as we mentioned in bi) that it is constant

ii)g=x+2n and i=g=2 which is x+2n+2

iii)c=x+2
thereforex+2)(x+2n)-(x)(x+2n+2)
=x²+2nx+2x+4n-x²-2nx-2x
=4n

hope this was helpful
