. The majority of candidates knew how to tackle this question and solutions gaining all the method marks were common. However there were many errors of detail and only about % of the candidates gained full marks. In part (a), many candidates had difficult in differentiating sin t and tan t. tan t was more often differentiated correctly, possibly because the differential of tan t is given in the formula book, although ln sect or ln sec t were often seen. Many could not differentiate sin t correctly. cos t, cos t and sin t were all common. d x Nearly all candidates knew they had to divide by, although there was some confusion in notation, with candidates mixing up their xs and ts. The majority knew how to approach part (b), finding the linear equation of the tangent to the curve at,, putting y 0 and 4 solving for x. Some candidates used y 0 prematurely and found the tangent to the curve at,0 rather than at,. 4 4. Nearly all candidates knew the method for solving part (a), although there were many errors in d differentiating trig functions. In particular (cost) was often incorrect. It was clear from both this question and question that, for many, the calculus of trig functions was an area of weakness. Nearly all candidates were able to obtain an exact answer in surd form. In part (b), the majority of candidates were able to eliminate t but, in manipulating trigonometric identities, many errors, particularly with signs, were seen. The answer was given in a variety of forms and all exact equivalent answers to that printed in the mark scheme were accepted. The value of k was often omitted and it is possible that some simply overlooked this. Domain and range remains an unpopular topic and many did not attempt part (c). In this case, inspection of the printed figure gives the lower limit and was intended to give candidates a lead to identifying the upper limit.. Part (a) was answered correctly by almost all candidates. In part (b), many candidates correctly applied the method of finding a tangent by using parametric differentiation to give the answer in the correct form. Few candidates tried to eliminate t to find a Cartesian equation for C, but these candidates were usually not able to find the correct gradient at A. In part (c), fully correct solutions were much less frequently seen. A significant number of candidates were able to obtain an equation in one variable to score the first method mark, but were then unsure about how to proceed. Successful candidates mostly formed an equation in t, used the fact that t + was a factor and applied the factor theorem in order for them to find t at the point B. They then substituted this t into the parametric equations to find the coordinates of B. Those candidates who initially formed an equation in y only went no further. A common misconception in part (c), was for candidates to believe that the gradient at the point B would be the same as the gradient at the point A and a significant minority of candidates attempted to t solve to find t at the point B. t 8 5 Edexcel Internal Review

4. In part (a), many candidates were able to apply the correct formula for finding in terms of t. Some candidates erroneously believed that differentiation of a sine function produced a negative cosine function and the differentiation of a cosine function produced a positive sine function. Other candidates incorrectly differentiated cos 7t to give either sin 7 t or sin 7t and also 7 incorrectly differentiated sin 7t to give either cos 7t or cos 7t. 7 In part (b), many candidates were able to substitute t into their gradient expression to give, but it was not uncommon to see some candidates who made errors when simplifying their substituted expression. The majority of candidates were able to find the point ( 4, 4). Some 7 7 candidates, however, incorrectly evaluated cos ( ) and sin ( ) as and respectively and found the incorrect point (, ). Some candidates failed to use the gradient of the tangent to find the gradient of the normal and instead found the equation of the tangent, and so lost valuable marks as a result. It was pleasing to see that a significant number of candidates were able to express the equation of the normal in its simplest exact form. 5. Part (a) was surprisingly well done by candidates with part (b) providing more of a challenge even for some candidates who had produced a perfect solution in part (a). In part (a), many candidates were able to apply the correct formula for finding in terms of t, although some candidates erroneously believed that differentiation of a sine function produced a negative cosine function. Other mistakes included a few candidates who either cancelled out t + cos in their gradient expression to give or substituted t t into their x and y expressions before proceeding to differentiate each with respect to t. Other candidates made life more difficult for themselves by expanding the y expression using the compound angle formula, giving them more work, but for the same credit. Many candidates were able to substitute t into their gradient expression to give simplified ( ) incorrectly to give, but it was not uncommon to see some candidates who The majority of candidates wrote down the point, and understood how to find the equation of the tangent using this point and their tangent gradient. Whilst some candidates omitted part (b) altogether, most realised they needed to use the compound angle formula, though it was common to see that some candidates who believed that sin (t + )could be rewritten as sint + sin. Many candidates do not appreciate that a proof requires evidence, as was required in establishing that cos t x, and so lost the final two marks. There were, however, a significant number of candidates who successfully obtained the required Cartesian equation. Edexcel Internal Review 4

. (a) A number of candidates lost marks in this question. Some confused differentiation with integration and obtained a logarithm, others made sign slips differentiating y, and a number who obtained the correct gradient failed to continue to find the equation of the tangent using equations of a straight line. (b) There was a lack of understanding of proof with a number of candidates merely substituting in values. Better candidates were able to begin correctly but some did not realise that if the answer is given it is necessary to show more working. (c) Very few got this correct. There was a tendency to use parts and to be unable to deal with the integral of ln(x ). The most successful methods involved dividing out, or substituting for (x-). Those who tried a parametric approach rarely recognised the need for partial fractions. 7. This proved a testing question and few could find both d x and d y correctly. A common error was to integrate x, giving ln ( sin t). Most knew, however, how to obtain d y from and d y and were able to pick up marks here and in part (b). In part (b), the method for finding the equation of the tangent was well understood. Part (c) proved very demanding and only a minority of candidates were able to use one of the trigonometric forms of Pythagoras to eliminate t and manipulate the resulting equation to obtain an answer in the required form. Few even attempted the domain and the fully correct answer, x 0, was very rarely seen 8. Many good attempts at part (a) were seen by those who appreciated t at P, or by those using the Cartesian equation of the curve. Algebraic errors due to careless writing led to a loss of accuracy throughout the question, most commonly t t t Part (b) undoubtedly caused candidates extreme difficulty in deciding which section of the shaded area R was involved with integration. The majority set up some indefinite integration and carried this out well. Only the very able sorted out the limits satisfactorily. Most also evaluated the area of either a triangle or a trapezium and combined, in some way, this with their integrand, demonstrating to examiners their overall understanding of this situation. Edexcel Internal Review 5

9. Most candidates understood the requirements of the proof of the double angle formula in part (a). Part (b) proved to be discriminating, but a large number of candidates produced good solutions, where they changed the variables and the limits and used the appropriate double angle formula to perform the integration. Some difficulties were experienced differentiating the log function in part (c), but again there were a large number of correct solutions. A few candidates eliminated the parameter and found the cartesian equation of the curve before differentiation. 0. No Report available for this question.. No Report available for this question.
