Question 14 continued
Notes:
(a)
0.5
B1: States or uses the strip width h = 0.5. This can be implied by the sight of ... in the
2
trapezium rule
M1: For the correct form of the bracket in the trapezium rule. Must be y values rather than x
values first y value last y value 2 sum of other y values
A1: 4.393
(b)
B1: See scheme
(c)
M1: Uses integration by parts the right way around.

Look for x 2 ln x dx Ax3 ln x Bx 2 dx

x3 x2
A1: ln x dx

Notes:
(a)
2x 1
M1: Attempts to differentiate by using the quotient rule with u 4sin 2 x and v e or
alternatively uses the product rule with u 4sin 2 x and v e1 2x
A1: For achieving a correct f ( x) . For the product rule
f ( x) e1 2x
8cos 2 x 4sin 2 x 2e1 2x

M1: This is scored for cancelling/ factorising out the exponential term. Look for an equation in
just cos 2x and sin 2x
A1*: Proceeds to tan 2 x 2 . This is a given answer.
(b) (i)

Alternatively finds the 2 solution of tan 2 x 2 and attempts to divide by 2
A1: Allow awrt x 1.02 . The correct answer, with no incorrect working scores both marks
(b)(ii)
arctan 2
M1: Solves tan 2 x 2 attempts to find the 1st solution. Look for x
