What is the value of A?
Do u think u get deducted if u wrote the value is 17 when it is supposed to be technically 17000000?

lol.. if i get 0/1 ill be like

I used 17000000 but im sure if you said A = 17 million you will still get the marks as long as you sub in everything else the same way eg sub in 13 not 13000000. I dont know if you will get the makrs if you just said A = 17, maybe they will be nice

omg if only i knew whether they would deduct a mark for that ... i swear if i lose a mark ill be like fuk u bos.

I imagine they would deduct marks. The difference between 17 and 17000000 is 16999983.

However, considering when you simplify everything later on you still end up with 13/17, you might get lucky.

 

[coroneos]

uhmm there is no difference between using 17 and 17mill for ure figures.. the end result is same + since the qstn has units as 17 million.. it should be fkn obvious lol.

 

[jhakka]

The only thing that would be a problem is that 17 is not the value of A, however as stated above, this makes little difference with the rest of the question.

 

[coroneos]

but thats like saying theta = 60 for a trig question

it could be degrees/seconds/minutes..... but obv. the marker shouldnt be a cake hole

 

[acmilan]

I think as long as you make it obvious that you A was 17 million youll be fine. I was also thinking at that time whether to use 17 or 17000000 but decided on 17000000 because i knew that would be right for sure

 

[coroneos]

yea true.. omg if i lose a mark over that

 

[Jago]

i think i wrote down either 17mil or 17 million

 

[coroneos]

hmm i wrote down 17 but it was obvious
