However, there are situations in some units where part marks would be appropriate, particularly when similar techniques are involved. Your Principal Examiner will alert you to these and details will be provided on the mark scheme. Where the answer can be reasonably obtained without showing working and it is very unlikely that the correct answer can be obtained by using an incorrect method, we must award full marks. However, the obvious penalty to candidates showing no working is that incorrect answers, however close, earn no marks. Where a question asks the candidate to state or write down a result, no method need be shown for full marks. Where the permitted calculator has functions which reasonably allow the solution of the question directly, the correct answer without working earns full marks, unless it is given to less than the degree of accuracy accepted in the mark scheme, when it gains no marks. Otherwise we require evidence of a correct method for any marks to be awarded. 3 MPC3 - AQA GCE Mark Scheme 2010 January series MPC3 Q 1(a) y′ = e −4 x Solution ( 2 x + 2 ) − 4e−4 x ( x 2 + 2 x − 2 ) Marks M1 Total Comments y ′ = Ae ( ax + b ) ± Be –4 x ( x 2 + 2 x – 2 ) where A and B are non-zero constants All correct –4 x A1 = e −4 x ( 2 x + 2 − 4 x 2 − 8 x + 8 ) or -4 x 2 e-4 x - 6 xe-4 x +10e-4 x = 2e −4 x ( 5 − 3 x − 2 x 2 ) A1 3 AG; all correct with no errors, 2nd line (OE) must be seen Condone incorrect order on final line or y = x 2 e – 4 x + 2 xe – 4 x – 2e – 4 x y ′ = − 4 x 2 e – 4 x + 2 xe – 4x + 2 x. – 4e – 4 x + 2e –4 x + 8e –4x 2 – 4x = – 4x e – 6 xe – 4x = 2e −4 x ( 5 − 3x − 2 x 2 ) (b) + 10e –4x + De –4 x + Ee – 4x All correct – 4x − ( 2 x + 5 )( x − 1) (= 0) x= Ax 2 e – 4 x + Bxe – 4x + Cxe (M1) (A1) −5 ,1 2 (A1) AG; all correct with no errors, 3rd line (OE) must be seen M1 OE A1 Both correct and no errors Attempt at factorisation (±2 x ± 5)(± x ± 1) or formula with at most one error SC x = 1 only scores M1A0 x =1, y = e −4 5 ⎛ 3⎞ x = − , y = e10 ⎜ − ⎟ 2 ⎝ 4⎠ m1 For y = aeb attempted A1F Either correct, follow through only from incorrect sign for x A1 5 CSO 2 solutions only Note: withhold final mark for extra solutions Note: approximate values only for y can score m1 only Total 8 4 MPC3 - AQA GCE Mark Scheme 2010 January series MPC3 (cont) Q 2(a)(i) Solution Marks Total Comments A B1 correct shape passing through origin and stopping at A and B B ⎛ π⎞ A ⎜ 1, ⎟ ⎝ 2⎠ π⎞ ⎛ B ⎜ −1, − ⎟ 2⎠ ⎝ (ii) line intersecting their curve (positive gradient, positive y intercept) Correct statement B1 B1 3 SC A(1, 90) and B ( –1, – 90 ) scores B1 M1 A1 2 one solution only, stated or indicated on sketch - must be in the first quadrant (ie curve intersects line once) Must have scored B1 for graph in (a)(i) (b) LHS ( 0.5 ) = 0.5 RHS ( 0.5 ) = 1.1⎞ ⎟ LHS (1) = 1.6 RHS (1) = 1.3 ⎟⎠ At 0.5 LHS < RHS , At 1 LHS > RHS ∴ 0.5 < α < 1 or 1 f ( x ) = sin −1 ( x ) − x −1 4 f ( 0.5 ) = − 0.6 ⎫⎪ ⎬ AWRT f (1) = 0.3 ⎪⎭ Change of sign ⇒ 0.5 < α < 1 M1 A1 2 CSO f (x) must be defined (M1) Allow f ( 0.5 ) < 0 f (1) > 0 (A1) or f (x) must be defined ⎛1 ⎞ f ( x ) = sin ⎜ x + 1⎟ – x 4 ⎝ ⎠ f ( 0.5 ) = 0.4 ⎫⎪ ⎬ Attempt f (1) = – 0.1 ⎪⎭ Change of sign ⇒ 0.5 < α < 1 (M1) (A1) or f ( x ) = 4 sin – 1 x – x – 4 f ( 0.5 ) = – 2.4 ⎫⎪ ⎬ attempt f (1) = 1.3 ⎪⎭ Change of sign ⇒ 0.5 < α < 1 f (x) must be defined (M1) (A1) 5 MPC3 - AQA GCE Mark Scheme 2010 January series MPC3 (cont) Q 2(c)(i) Solution x2 = 0.902 x3 = 0.941 Marks M1 Total A1 2 Comments Sight of AWRT 0.902 or AWRT 0.941 These values only (ii) Staircase, (vertical line) from x1 to curve, horizontal to line, vertical to curve M1 O x1 x2 x3 A1 Total 2 11 6 x2 , x3 approx correct position on x-axis MPC3 - AQA GCE Mark Scheme 2010 January series MPC3 (cont) Q 3(a) Solution 1 sin x = , 3 or sight of ± 0.34, ± 0.11π or ± 19.47 (or better) x = 0.34, 2.8 ( 0 ) (b) AWRT Marks Total Comments M1 A1 2 Penalise if incorrect answers in range; ignore answers outside range Correct use of cot 2 x = cos ec 2 x – 1 cosec 2 x −1 =11 − cosec x M1 cosec 2 x + cosec x − 12 ( = 0 ) A1 ( cosec x + 4 )( cosec x − 3)( = 0 ) m1 Attempt at Factors Gives cosec x or – 12 when expanded Formula one error condoned A1 Either Line cosec x = − 4, 3⎫ ⎪ 1 1 ⎬ sin x = − , 4 3 ⎪⎭ 1 sin x = − 4 ⇒ x = 3.39, 6.03 0.34, 2.8 ( 0 ) AWRT B1F AWRT B1 Alternative cos 2 x 1 = 11 – 2 sin x sin x 2 2 cos x = 11 sin x – sin x 6 3 correct or their two answers from (a) and 3.39, 6.03 4 correct and no extras in range ignore answers outside range SC 19.47, 160.53, 194.48, 345.52 B1 Correct use of trig ratios and multiplying by sin 2 x (M1) 1 – sin 2 x = 11sin 2 x – sin x 0 = 12 sin 2 x – sin x – 1 (A1) 0 = ( 4sin x + 1)( 3sin x – 1) (m1) 1 1 sin x = – , 4 3 (A1) Attempt at factors as above (B1F) (B1) Total As above 8 7 MPC3 - AQA GCE Mark Scheme 2010 January series MPC3 (cont) Q Solution 4(a) Marks A1 x x =2 x= 6 B1 B1 x >6 x< 2 B1 B1 Total 5(a) x 1.5 4.5 7.5 10.5 y 1.98100 3.22883 4.11496 4.74710 (ii) 2 One correct answer Second correct answer and no extras Condone answers shown on the graph, if clearly indicated One correct answer Second correct answer and no extras and no further incorrect statement eg 6 < x < 2 or 2 < x > 6 SC x ≥ 6 , x ≤ 2 scores B1 6 x values correct PI M1 3+ y values correct to 2sf or better or exact values A1 1.981, 3.228 / 9, 4.114 / 5, 4.747 for y A1 ( or better ) 4 (Note: 42.2 with evidence of mid-ordinate rule with four strips scores 4/4) y = ln ( x 2 + 5 ) OE e y = x2 + 5 x2 = e y – 5 B1 ( π ) ∫ ( e y − 5 ) ( dy ) M1 = ( π ) ⎡⎣e y − 5 y ⎤⎦ (10 ) 1 AG Must see middle line, and no errors Condone omission of brackets around f (y) throughout A1 ( 5) = ( π ) ⎡⎣( e10 − 50 ) − ( e5 − 25 ) ⎤⎦ (c) 2 B1 ∫ = 3× ∑y = 42.2 (b)(i) 2 Modulus graph V shape in 1st quad going into 2nd quad, touching x-axis.
