will i lose a mark if i accidentally expressed alpha in terms of k instead of k in terms of alpha? i had k in terms of alpha a few lines up :'( did extra few lines of working to get alpha in terms of k ahhhhHhh

How did you guys go about finding the angle in projectile?
I found dy/dx on the cartesian equation at the x-coord for A, then used angle between two lines with y=-x. Got 45° tho

ye but also u can't use all of f(x) <= 1 anyway so u need to choose either x<-1 or -1<x<0 or 0<x<1 and looking at the actual equation given the -1<x<0 is the one where an inverse exists?
am I horrendously wrong

75-45, so it came to an angle of 30 degrees

Yeah I got -1<x<1, so I got A

guys for the binomial is it k = 5 or k = 14, since the question asks for which k for x^k = x^k + 1.
Plugging the expression into a calculator to expand gives that x^14 = x^15.

So is k = 14 the only correct answer here?

Yep k=14 is correct

Man. I'm so disappointed with how I went in this paper.
I wasn't able to complete 14ii, but I was able to finish everything else.
However, the solution was so simple and I'm kicking myself that I didn't see it.

Fuck, I honestly found the 4u paper easier.

Is it just me, or did anyone else notice that the projectile motion question asked to not only find the distance OA, but also the point A?
