14b) assume y= -2

   do the calculations, arrange them in order
 

I got: y3 < y2 < y0 < y-1

but mark scheme says: y3 < y-1 < y0 < y2

but mark scheme says: y3 < y-1 < y0 < y2

ur way : -8 < 4 < 1 < -0.5 = incorrect

ms way : -8 < -0.5 < 1 < 4 = correct

check ur calculations again :)

(-2)^3 = -8

(-2)^2 = 4

If we want to calculate lower and upper bound of lets say 6-4.
For upper bound we minus 6.5 minus 3.5 and for lower bound 5.5 - 4.5?

Thanks

Ans Q18 (a)   1080           33
                  ------- =  -------- = 320 cm3
                      s             23

          
            (b)      s             32
                  ------- =  --------  = 567 cm2
                    252            22

Answer this one please too; +explaination

attached.

PQS = 80 degree.

Angle PQS = Angle PRS

the chord circumference rule.

QPR = 180 - 80 - 33 = 67 degree. (Angle Sum property)

PSQ => PXS = 147 (180-33). PSX = 180 - 147 - 21 = 12 degree.

Ya whole number... My question is that we should do it like dividing (upper bound of 1st number - lower bound of 2nd number)
