1. The vast majority of students correctly used the identity cosh2x = 1 + sinh2x to obtain a
quadratic in sin hx. Most then used the logarithmic form of arsinh to obtain the final answers.
Some students wrote sin hx in terms of exponentials and proceeded to solve the resulting
quadratics in ex and sometimes ended up with extra solutions that were not rejected. A
significant number of students attempted to solve the given equation by expressing it in terms
of exponentials. Such solutions usually stopped once a quartic in ex was reached. Quite often,
students who adopted this approach, realised that any progress would be difficult and so
resorted to using the identity cosh2x = 1 + sinh2x.

Examiner comment for Question 2 (Mark scheme) (Return to Question 2)


2. Almost all candidates knew to multiply top and bottom by the complex conjugate of the
denominator, and most did this correctly, though there were occasional errors in both
numerator and denominator. The final mark in part (i)(a) was sometimes lost due to failure to
separate the real and imaginary parts, as the question required. In part (b), relatively few
candidates were able to immediately equate the numerators of the real and imaginary parts.
Most used tan π/4 = 1 involving them in extra work. In part (ii) it was very rare to see use of
the modulus of the product as the product of the moduli. Instead candidates worked out the
product of the two complex numbers, sometimes incorrectly, and then attempted to obtain the
modulus of that product, usually successfully. Most were then able to progress to a correct
conclusion, though a worrying minority thought that √(25 + λ2 ) = (5 + λ).

Examiner comment for Question 3 (Mark scheme) (Return to Question 3)


3. The vast majority of the students identified the given function as being composite and applied
dy
the chain rule in determining . Most of the students used the product rule to differentiate
dx
x
and the algebraic processing of the terms involved within both this and the quotient
1 + x2
rule, when used, was generally of a good standard. Nearly all of the students correctly
differentiated artanh x but the final stages of the solution caused some problems and a number
of errors were seen in processing the terms down to the printed result. There were a number of
students who initially rearranged the given function to make tanh y the subject and then used
implicit differentiation and achieved equal success with those students who used the chain rule.

4. This question was well answered by candidates and statistics showed that at least 50% of the

ud
.c
candidature scored 7 or more marks out the 8 available for this question. Some of these

om
candidates usually lost the final accuracy mark as they either missed out the constant of
y
integration or usually incorrectly manipulated = 2 sin x + K to give y = 2 sin2x + K
sin x
Most candidates were able to divide all terms in the differential equation by sin x to achieve
dy
an equation of the form + P( x) y =Q( x) and most attempted to find the integrating factor.
dx
cos x cos x
Some candidates wrote down e ∫ sin x as their integrating factor instead of e ∫ sin x . A few
dx − dx

cos x
candidates struggled to integrate − correctly, but a significant number simplified
sin x
e − ln sin x incorrectly to sin x. At this stage, some candidates did not use their integrating factor
d
correctly to achieve an equation of the form ( y × their I.F.) = sin 2x × their I.F. and so lost
dx
the remaining four marks. There were also a significant number of candidates who struggled
to simplify sin 2x cosec x to 2cos x.

Examiner comment for Question 5 (Mark scheme) (Return to Question 5)


5. Another well answered question with most candidates knowing how to approach both proofs.
Some candidates opted to find an expression for cos 5θ then cos 3θ by expanding
(cosθ + isin θ)n and equating real parts, then substituted these into the right hand side of the
n
 1
proof. This was more complicated than expanding  z +  and many candidates simply
 z
found an expression for cos5θ and then were unable to complete the proof. In part (c) many
1
candidates did not recognise the significance of cos4θ = − and either failed to mention it at
8
1
all or, in some cases, ignored the minus sign and solved cos4θ = to obtain extra (incorrect)
8
solutions.

Examiner comment for Question 6 (Mark scheme) (Return to Question 6)


6. This was a classic textbook example of a second order differential equation. A large number
of students tackled this question successfully. Some preferred to give the solution in terms of
Ae(–1 + 3i)x + Be(–1 – 3i)x rather than e–x (A cos 3x + B sin 3x). Some mistakes occurred in finding
the Particular Integral by not using y = ke–x and finding k. A small number of students lost the
final accuracy mark in both part (a) and part (b) by not writing their solutions with “y =”.

8. It was surprising how few candidates realised that integrating from 0 to and multiplying

.c
om
4
by 4 was the easiest way to deal with part (a), but almost all candidates did manage to obtain
the correct answer. Part (b) could be approached in a number of ways and most candidates
knew to differentiate r sin θ. It was surprising that fewer students did not realise that by
differentiating r2 sin2θ they could have simplified the algebra. The product and chain rules
were generally used correctly but many candidates did not seem sufficiently confident with
manipulating trigonometric expressions to be able to see their derivative through to a
solution. Slips in accuracy led to equations becoming overcomplicated and the candidates
were unable to recover. Poor handwriting and poor presentation did not help when trying to
work out what some candidates were doing. Many candidates overcomplicated the final stage
of this question by not realising that they could substitute θ = 0 into r to find the width of the
d
rectangle. Instead, time was wasted solving (r cos θ) = 0. It is worth reminding candidates

that communicating their method is very important. Many candidates wrote minimal working
and produced an answer for which, if incorrect, their working made it difficult to ascertain
how the answer had been derived.
