January 00 Core Mathematics C 666 Mark Question Q Notes 6 = 79, 58x, + 5x ( ) 6 6 5 x = + 6 ( x) + ( x) for either the x term or the x term. Requires correct binomial coefficient in any form with the correct power of x condone lack of negative sign and wrong power of. This mark may be given if no working is shown, but one of the terms including x is correct. Allow 6,or 6 (must have a power of, even if only power ) 6 First term must be 79 for B, ( writing just is B0 ) can isw if numbers added to this constant later. Can allow 79( Term must be simplified to 58x for Acao. The x is required for this mark. Final Ais c.a.o and needs to be + 5x (can follow omission of negative sign in working) 6 5 6 Descending powers of x would be x + 6 ( x) + ( x) +.. 6 5 i.e. x 8x + 5 x +.. This is BA0A0 if completely correct or B0A0A0 for correct binomial coefficient in any form with the correct power of x as before B,A, A [] Alternative NB Alternative method: ( ) 6 6 6 x x x = ( + 6 ( ) + ( )..) + is B0A0A0 answers must be simplified to 79, 58x, + 5x for full marks (awarded as before) The mistake ( ) 6 6 6 x x x x = ( ) = (+ 6 ( ) + ( )..) + may also be awarded B0A0A0 6 Another mistake ( 6x+ 5 x...) = 79... would be BA0A0 GCE Core Mathematics C (666) January 00
Question Q ( x) 5sin x = + sin sin x+ 5sin x = 0 (*) ( s )( s+ ) = 0 giving s = [ sin has no solution] x = so sin x = x = 0, 50 for a correct method to change cos x into sin x (must use cos x = sin x ) A need term quadratic printed in any order with =0 included for attempt to solve given quadratic (usual rules for solving quadratics) (can use any variable here, s, y, x, or sinx ) A requires no incorrect work seen and is for sin x = or x = sin y = is A0 (unless followed by x = 0) B for 0 (α ) not dependent on method nd B for 80 - α provided in required range (otherwise 50 - α ) Extra solutions outside required range: Ignore Extra solutions inside required range: Lose final B Answers in radians: Lose final B S.C. Merely writes down two correct answers is M0A0BB Or sin x = x = 0, 50 is ABB Just gives one answer : 0 only is M0A0BB0 or 50 only is M0A0B0B NB Common error is to factorise wrongly giving( x )( x ) [ sin x = gives no solution ] sin x= x= 0, 0 This earns A0 B0 Bft sin + sin = 0 Another common error is to factorise correctly ( sin x )( sin x + ) = 0 with sin x =, sin x = then x = 0 This would be A0 B B o o,50 and follow this Acso () A B, Bft () [6] GCE Core Mathematics C (666) January 00
