Question 11

a) needed to write in terms ofsinx for the limit

x
b) draw a diagram to help

c) i. inccorect use of chain rule

c) ii. Neede to use cos double angle formula to integrate

d) 4 is 2 2 and~ is G)2; learn the standard integral formats of known inverse trig functions
e) Needed to be shown clearly

f) Use the rule that is on the reference sheet and understand that the general solution formula is used as

soon as the inverse sin is applied (see solution)

Question 12

b(i) A of boys did not use correct terminology for "Alternate segment theorem" reason.

(ii) Reason for "Angle sum of a triangle" had to be stated, otherwise mark deducted.

c) Errors occurred through transcription or c~relessness. Ours is a careful subject so BE CAREFUL!

d(ii) When solving for A and alpha, half of the cohort didn't realise that x=6 to the left meant x=-6. They also
assumed A is amplitude and had to be positive. Learn from this one!!

(iii) No marks deducted for carry through error.

Question 13

.. I 2
(b) (i) a lot of students did not use the chain rule correctly. Some of them did not use x =-v
2
(b) (ii) the question says "by considering the velocity and acceleration of the particle" but some students did
not consider the velocity and acceleration when describing the motion of the particle.

(c) (ii) some students did not state the domain

Question 14

a) Poor algebraic skills led to many students not obtaining full mark.

b) Students needed to convert units in the questions. They also needed to show that some form of calculus
(chain rule) to obtain marks.

ci) The question was a show that, so students needed to derive the formulas.

ciii)The ball hits the floor when y=D. Students were able to find the x value yet finding the speed caused many
problems for the majority.

ciii) Many candidates had problems finding the angle.

civ) POORLY completed question. Many variations for the angle. Students could not find when the ball hit the
floor the 2"' time.
