What did everyone get for the last two parts on the functions and for the maximum and minimum for the Venn diagram?

I got 5 for the minimum and 38 for the maximum. I got -1.25 <x<2 for the first and cant remember the second

What percent did ye get for the tax?

Think I might have said gotten .185 and rounded it up to 19%

How would that work when 72+38 is 110 and there were only 100 questions?

I got 10 for minimum and 38 for max as a guess

Would someone be able to explain how they got the exchange rate question. When I did it out £1 = €1.20 for the girl, but for the boy it changed every time and I couldn't see any pattern. I got 1.14 for the slope, and averaged the exchange rate at 1.40€?
To the person above asking I got 19% for the USC and VAT and my friend said she got the same

There was a "hidden" standing charge for the boy, which is why it would change every time.
I couldn't work out the standing charge, though.

For the boy it was: 10+(1.15*x) with x standing as the amount of sterling required. Unlike Susan, there was a €10 standing charge with the bank that Jack used.

You had to add on €10 to the boys cos his graph started at €10..that's what I did anyways and it worked

Standing charge was 10 euro

Standing charge was 10 I think

i did the same, do you think we might get some marks for it?

Hoping for a high partial.

Thank you, I really should of realised when my graph ended up at 0=10 but my common sense is a bit lacking, ffs I'm so annoyed, thank you.

What did ye get for n2-n1+41 when n=41?

I said that the answer to n2+n1+41 was 41^2

I thought you had to say why the formula wouldn't work.

Chloee98

I said that it didn't work cos it was just 41 squared cos the +41 and -41 cancelled each other out..didn't really understand it tbh

You had to say that but I just used figures and and a short explanation.

hahaha same! Hopefully i get a nice examiner correcting it

yaEHya

I'm not really sure how I did on this paper at all dreading paper 2

but wasn't the answer in the question?
My memory is kinda hazy atm but I thought it said "the formula works for numbers when n is less than 41. Explain why this wouldn't work when n = 41."
I said something like 41 isn't less than 41, therefore it isn't going to work.

Must have read the question wrong..:-(

yaEHya

I think I filled in 41 and got 1681 and the square root of that was 41 I didn't no what the question was about.
