i made a mistake in finding the shaded area in integration, i got 1 limit correct but the other was wrong but i showed all the steps would i get any marks for it (if any then how much out of 4)

I think you're referring to Q9 here, the one with A(4,6) and B(2,2).
You'll lose the A1 mark + a mark for miscalculating B(2,2) ~ 2 marks.
Albeit, you'll get the e.c.f. mark for the area. :)

if I get 55/75 in P1 do I have any chance of A grade overall? How much would I need in M1?

does anyone remember the coordinates of A and B (which was given in the question)?
thanks

the second term if a GP is 9 less than the first term. The sum of the second and third terms is 30. Given that all terms are positive*, find the value of the first term.

a.r = a - 9 ; a.r + a.r^2 = 30
>> r = (a - 9)/a

>> 30 = (a - 9) + a.[(a-9)/a]^2
>> 30 = a - 9 + (a-9)^2/a
>> 39.a = (a^2) + a^2 - 18.a + 81
>> 2.a^2 - 57.a + 81 = 0
>> factorize to get (a - 27)(2.a - 3) = 0

a = 27 or a = 3/2
since r= -5 when a= 3/2, the terms become negative*(see question);

Ans: a = 27
:( :cry: :cry::cry::cry:
