Paper 1 (non- calculator) Section A

A1 63/65

A2 (a) A(1,4) (b) graph moves 2 left and 4 up so (0,0)-->(-2,4); A(1,4)-->(-1,8); B(3,0)-->(1,4) (c) 4<k<8

A3 a = 30

A4 (a) (i) x = 1/3 and x = 3 (ii) when x=1/3 y-coordinates are not equal: gap between curves; when x=3 both y-coordinates are -8: this is point B (b) Area = 64/3

A5 a = 3/5 and limit = 25

A6 For all real values of k

Paper 1 (non- calculator) Section B

B7

B8 y = -1/3cos(3x) + 7/6

B9 2

B10 maximum value is 2 when x =

Paper 2 Section A

A1 (a) y = -x + 1 (b) (-1,-6)

A2 (a) 2y + x = 9 (b) (x-1)2 + (y-4)2 = 25 (c) (i) y = 9 (ii) T(-9,9)

A3 (a) p(x) = 3 - 3/x (b) p(q(x)) = x

A4 (a) y = -x(x-4) (b) proof

A5 x = 60, 131.8, 228.2, 300

A6 x = 2

Paper 2 Section B

B7 t = 4

B8 5/8

B9 (a) B(3,2,15) (b) angle ABC = 92.5 degrees (to 3 sig figs)

B10

B11 (a) P = 0.6Q + 1.8 (b) a = 6.05 (to 3 sig figs); b = 0.6
