 General Instructions for Marking

1. The total number of marks for the paper is 75.

2. The Edexcel Mathematics mark schemes use the following types of marks:

• M marks: method marks are awarded for ‘knowing a method and attempting to apply it’,
unless otherwise indicated.
• A marks: Accuracy marks can only be awarded if the relevant method (M) marks have been
earned.
• B marks are unconditional accuracy marks (independent of M marks)
• Marks should not be subdivided.

3. Abbreviations

These are some of the traditional marking abbreviations that will appear in the mark schemes.

• bod – benefit of doubt

• ft – follow through
• the symbol will be used for correct ft
• cao – correct answer only
• cso - correct solution only. There must be no errors in this part of the question to obtain
this mark
• isw – ignore subsequent working
• awrt – answers which round to
• SC: special case
• oe – or equivalent (and appropriate)
• dep – dependent
• indep – independent
• dp decimal places
• sf significant figures
• ¿ The answer is printed on the paper
• The second mark is dependent on gaining the first mark

9. un +1 = 4un + 2 , u1 = 2 and un = 23 (4n − 1)

n = 1; u1 = 23 (41 − 1) = 23 (3) = 2 Check that un = 23 (4n − 1)

B1
So un is true when n = 1. yields 2 when n = 1.

Assume that for n = k that, uk = 23 (4k − 1) is true

for k ∈ Z + .

Then uk +1 = 4uk + 2

Substituting uk = 23 (4k − 1) into

= 4 ( 23 (4k − 1) ) + 2 M1
un +1 = 4un + 2.

Therefore, the general statement, un = 23 (4n − 1) is

Require ‘True when n=1’, ‘Assume
true when n = k + 1. (As un is true for n = 1, )
true when n=k’ and ‘True when A1
then un is true for all positive integers by n = k + 1 ’ then true for all n o.e.
