Repor on he Unis aken in January 008 78: Differenial Equaions (Wrien paper) General Commens Many candidaes demonsraed a good undersanding of he specificaion and high levels of algebraic compeency. Quesions and proved o be he mos popular choices. When skeching graphs, if candidaes use a graphic calculaor, merely copying he screen may no be enough if i does no idenify he key feaures of he soluion. However, deailed analysis is no required in skech graphs unless specifically requesed in he quesion. When a differenial equaion and condiions are given, a reques o find he soluion implies ha he condiions should be used. (ie in hese circumsances, find he paricular soluion unless he specific erm general soluion is used.) Commens on Individual Quesions Secion A ) (i) This was generally done very well, alhough a few candidaes did no use he given condiions o calculae he arbirary consans. (iii) Alhough here were some excellen answers, mos candidaes sruggled o explain why he given expressions could no form a paricular inegral. They were required o say more han jus idenify hem as erms in he complemenary funcion, bu o remark ha hey would give zero in he lef hand side of he differenial equaion. This was ofen done well, alhough some candidaes found he value of a he maximum, raher han he value of y. I was expeced ha he maximum value was marked on he skech graph. ) (i) This was ofen done very well, alhough some candidaes made errors when dividing or muliplying he equaion hrough by an appropriae expression. For example, when dividing hrough by ( + ), some candidaes did no divide he 3 erm. This was also ofen done well, alhough some candidaes wrongly used he same inegraing facor as before. (iii) Compleely correc answers were no common. Many candidaes made errors in differeniaing heir velociy expressions. A few described he velociy raher han he acceleraion. 3) (i) A surprising number of candidaes did no use he condiion o calculae he arbirary consan. Noe ha he quesion did no ask for he general soluion and so he condiion should have been used. (iii) This was ofen done well, alhough algebraic errors when calculaing he coefficiens were common. The paricular soluion was usually well answered.
Repor on he Unis aken in January 008 (iv) (v) The numerical soluion was ofen done well, alhough a sizeable minoriy made numerical errors in he second sep. Finding he limiing value was someimes well done, alhough many did no realise ha his mus correspond wih a zero derivaive. Finding he populaion when he growh rae is greaes was rarely compleed. A number of candidaes differeniaed he expression, bu few were able o solve he resuling equaion. ) (i) Mos candidaes compleed his correcly, bu a few did no seem o know how o do he eliminaion. (iii) (iv) (v) This was ofen correc, bu some candidaes assumed ha he paricular inegral was 6. Many candidaes gave correc answers by using heir soluion for x in he firs of he displayed differenial equaions. Pleasingly few candidaes aemped o consruc a differenial equaion for y. Many correc soluions were seen. The skeches were ofen done well, bu some candidaes omied o idenify he key feaures, in paricular he iniial condiions and he asympoes. 3
