According to our teacher, order of rotational symmetry can never be 1.

It's either 0, 2 or 4.
And that image only turned back to it's position after one whole turn,
and...
EVERY IMAGE TURNS BACK TO ITSELF AFTER THE COMPLETE 360 deg,
So, the order or rotational symmetry was 0?

And the sinx-cosx=0.5, what do you suppose can be the range of the answers?

Also, what equation of line did you get in the intersecting lines one, the lat part?

i got y=3x-13, but is this the question u are talking abt

Umm, I'm referring to variant 2.

One thing, was the gradient of the line parallel to it 3, or -3?

ANSWERS THAT I CAN REMEMBER:
rotational symmetry-1
lines of symmetry -1
rearranging thing x=3/(p-1)
white paint thing = 88
maximum speed of boris - 16.25
sin cos things- 45 degrees and 66 degrees
the very last graph qs - 82 i think and 108
the inequalites R- was in the slightly large area towards the middle/right

P.S. who agrees that the paper was definitely more difficult than past papers but still went super-awesome ;D ;D
I LOOOOVED IT


i got exactly the same answers  ;D

agreed, paper required more thinking but i think i (like Ari said) killed it  8)

the gradient was -3
cause the equation of parallel line was 3x+y=18
so it becomes y=18-3x

the equation finally is
y=-3x+14

i think its 3, cuz parallel lines have same gradient

i did variant2 and grad was -3

i got y=-3x+14
SAME :D

guys for the boris speed question, i didnt multiply my answer by 2 to get the max speed, so how many marks do i get, i showed all of the working

um what multiplying by2?
you find alonso's total dist. which was 130
then you do 1/2 x v x 16 = 130
v=16.25

And its true, the first question, the rotational symmetry was 0. Cause you cant have a rotational symmetry of 1.

As far as i know, i lost out on the sinx - cosx = 0.5... i messed that sh*t up....

So... 1 or 2 marks, either way, that's sh*t. :/
Crap.
