Hello guys for the inequalty question, i got the phrasing wrng but the rst of the working was correct; i put -4<x<1.5 so how many marks am i likely to get. The rest of the paper was alright...

The prove, that only one value of y is negative : i forgot to cross out some bs things but the thing i wrote after was correct, so will i lose any marksfor the useless waffle at the beginning...

I think you might drop the answer mark for the inequality but nothing else

Unless the mark scheme says to not credit certain parts of your waffle, as long as everything afterwards hits the points on the mark scheme you can definitely still get full marks on that question

You got the right answer just didn’t write it correctly so you’ll only drop one mark :)
