AQA Further Maths Paper 2

[frigid smelt]

There is a model solution on riad's tiktok

[frigid smelt]

Yh I see

[modest bear]

hi

[magic torrent]

How did they get 2 / (2-5/3)?

[magic torrent]

Hello

How are you

[modest bear]

im good, im under the water

[magic torrent]

😂😂

[modest bear]

ok i will have a look

[modest bear]

is this fm?

further mechanics

[patent ledge]

ye

[modest bear]

i dont do it

[patent ledge]

I made the same mistake you have found the centre of mass from the point to the centre of mass

On the plain it’s flipped over

So from the flat side to centre of mass you need to do 2-5/3

@magic torrent

Also side note if you don’t do that you get 50 degrees which doesn’t seem quite right for that shape since the centre of mass should be really low

[magic torrent]

Ohhh I see that makes sense, thank you so much!

[signal acorn]

Do u have all the questions for fm edexcel paper 2?

Or a level maths

The recent paper

[modest bear]

My teacher has the 2024 paper 2 but I’m not allowed to take pictures of the paper

I told him if I can and he said no

The paper was actually calm

Similar difficulty to paper 2 last year

[signal acorn]

Damn that teacher was like hell no 😭

Yeah I need to make solutions 😭

[modest bear]

I will tell him if I can tomorrow or Friday

[signal acorn]

Calm

[patent ledge]

@wintry meadow @violet dock in stats do you have to give the values in your working out to d.p or can i give them as fractions?

thats probably a stupid question but needed to be sure

[signal acorn]

Yeah

With confidence interval it’s 100% likely to be decimals

Fractions look ugly in intervals

If it don’t tell u

[patent ledge]

so id lose marks for using fractions?

eyye

[signal acorn]

To round

[patent ledge]

yeye

ok

[signal acorn]

Then no

[patent ledge]

like at the end i rounded

[signal acorn]

Yeah it should say to sf

[wintry meadow]

round in answer ur fine in workign

[modest bear]

here

oh crap year 2 paper lol

oh my

[signal acorn]

They have the normal maths one aswell?

Lemme check a2 first

Question 1 is free

[modest bear]

look

2022 edexcel fm

2024 CCEA fm

[signal acorn]

That’s what I’m saying

Exam boards work together 😂

[modest bear]

llmao

[signal acorn]

Question two is free

[modest bear]

is only AS

2024

https://ccea.org.uk/post-16/gce/subjects/gce-mathematics-2018/past-papers-mark-schemes

[modest bear]

methods of difference

[signal acorn]

Correct

Beluga Ima do the maths paper AS

I wanna see how quick I can finish

Can u put a timer

[modest bear]

sure

[signal acorn]

Okay lemme download it rq

[modest bear]

ok

[signal acorn]

I’ll tell u when to start it

[modest bear]

ok

[signal acorn]

U can start it now

[modest bear]

ok how many minutes

[signal acorn]

15 mins

[modest bear]

lmao ok

[signal acorn]

Then u mark it for me :)

[modest bear]

ok

im gonna put 15 minutes

[signal acorn]

Alr

[modest bear]

starting now

in 8 minutes i got up to question 6

@signal acorn Times up

[signal acorn]

Finished

AHH

Q1

I got 3 8

[modest bear]

3i+8j

yh

[signal acorn]

Yes

[modest bear]

second was root 73

[signal acorn]

q2 I got root 73

69.4 degrees

[modest bear]

ahhh i added it

[signal acorn]

Midpoint (1,6)

[modest bear]

it was suppose to be 90 -

[modest bear]

yh

[signal acorn]

Damn I didn’t have time to read the question 😭

[modest bear]

oh wait

[signal acorn]

It said positive axis

[modest bear]

youre right

lol

[signal acorn]

Oh

Yeah cus there both positive anyway

The components

Gradient is 2

[modest bear]

yh

[signal acorn]

x-2y-13=0

[modest bear]

2y+x-13=0

yh

[signal acorn]

(-2,1)

Radius root 17

[modest bear]

yh

[signal acorn]

Cuts at -6,2

[modest bear]

yh

[signal acorn]

19/8 for a? I couldn’t find my calculator for a minute 😭

[modest bear]

yes

[signal acorn]

Then part b just use pascals coefficients

1,6,15,20,15,6,1

[signal acorn]

Yes

Then got k=4/3

[modest bear]

oh

i got 3/4

[signal acorn]

3/4

[modest bear]

15k^2=20k^3

[signal acorn]

Mb my eyes 😭

[modest bear]

yes

[modest bear]

it happens

[signal acorn]

5 a) just basic proof

[modest bear]

that trig proof was a nice one

[signal acorn]

Yes

I used sec^2

Then had a 4 fractions

[modest bear]

yh you could

[signal acorn]

60,300 for b

[modest bear]

yh

6a is where i finished

[signal acorn]

1/2(log4(25)+1)

[signal acorn]

Ah

I finished the whole paper lmao 😭

[modest bear]

i got it in ln form

[modest bear]

nice broo

[signal acorn]

Yh that’s fine aswell

[modest bear]

i know for a fact that someone speed runned the paper

when they were doing this

[signal acorn]

The marking system is a bit dodgy

[modest bear]

cause i could finish it in 30 minutes

[signal acorn]

9 marks for simple questions

[modest bear]

yh

[signal acorn]

True 😭

[modest bear]

welsh exam boards are easier than they seem

wjec

ccea

[signal acorn]

Yeah for real

Too easy to be true 😭

[modest bear]

imagine the grade boundaries

90% for an a

A

[signal acorn]

They must be extremely high

[modest bear]

yh

even gcse they were easier

[signal acorn]

That’s true

It would probably take me longer to do a GCSE paper than this

[modest bear]

that is why i like using international papers

[signal acorn]

Actually most likely

[modest bear]

yes same

[signal acorn]

Yh they’re good

[modest bear]

i would flope foundation im pretty sure

😭

[signal acorn]

Ibr it’s easier get loosing marks on a foudation paper rather than higher

[modest bear]

yes and easier to get a 5

[signal acorn]

The risk of making mistakes is high if you’re fast with it

[modest bear]

foundation question are more like money

simple probability

do you do discriminant, b^2-4ac>0?

[signal acorn]

what I did was complete the square

[modest bear]

youre meant to solve for p?

[signal acorn]

Yeah

[modest bear]

bruv i read it wrong

[signal acorn]

But when you complete the square you’ll have something squared and you’re likely gonna have some constants after that in terms of p

[modest bear]

yes

[signal acorn]

So u just gotta make that >0

[modest bear]

ok i see

[frigid smelt]

There's a paper version (not a pdf) of the edexcel paper

The one with the semi circle

[signal acorn]

Where is it

Full paper?

[frigid smelt]

I think so

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeq6L9mc/

[signal acorn]

I’ve got the paper now pdf

Doing it now

[patent ledge]

which

aqa paper 2

[cold scarab]

paper 3

[frigid smelt]

How did you guys find it

[signal acorn]

@frigid smelt apparently it was a easy paper

From the sound of it I think I could possibly get full marks on mechanics section if I try the paper

[shy moss]

Such a light paper

[shy moss]

Yea I think you will be fine

[frigid smelt]

You should be able to yeah

Just one q I couldn't do

The one with k

And stats was easy too ngl

[patent ledge]

Ye I genuinely think you could

Mechanics was way easier than previous years

[signal acorn]

I got 37/40 in mechanics last year 🙏🏾 so maybe 40/40 this time

[patent ledge]

It’s out of 50 marks

[frigid smelt]

Last year mechanics was tough ngl

[patent ledge]

Ye I agree

[signal acorn]

Mbmb yes 50/50

[patent ledge]

What was the answer to the diminution analysis question

Was this the question

[wintry meadow]

i think 1 and 2

[signal acorn]

dimensional analysis came up too 😂

[wintry meadow]

yh

sliding vs topling also, circular motion energy limiting case, CoM

no suspension problems

[frigid smelt]

Ye

[cold scarab]

i got that for dimentional
