Examiners report
This question was very well answered by candidates, reinforced by the high difficulty index for both HL and SL groups. This is another question that requires the rearrangement of an equation to determine a relationship between variables; interestingly candidates showed greater success on this question than others of this type. This may be due to the fact that there was not an easy distractor included in the response options, requiring candidates to work through equation substitution and rearrangement to reach a final answer.
