1. While most candidates gained method marks for their integration attempt, some did not realise
1 3
3
that x was x 2 , or had difficulty in simplifying 3 x 2 ÷  . More common was the inability
2
3
to evaluate the definite integral correctly, with 2× 42 causing particular problems. Overall,
however, it was common to see full marks scored.

2. Although many candidates scored full marks on this question, others had difficulty dealing with
1
1
. This was sometimes misinterpreted as x 2 or x–1, leading to incorrect integration but still
x
allowing the possibility of scoring a method mark for use of limits. Sometimes there was no
1
integration attempt at all and the limits were simply substituted into . The candidates who
x
performed the integration correctly were usually able to deal with their surds and proceeded
score full marks, although a few left their answer as − 1+ 2 8 . Occasionally the answer was
given as a decimal.

3. Part (a) was answered well with many correct solutions. A few candidates integrated f(x). Some
candidates had difficulty differentiating the constant term. The most common incorrect solution
was f″(x) = 6x. In part (b) a few candidates used f(x) or f′(x) as their integral. However, most
integrated successfully and substituted accurately. Occasional arithmetic slips were seen.

4. This standard test of definite integration was handled well by the vast majority of candidates.
Mistakes, where made, tended to be in the integration of x –2, although errors in simple
arithmetic sometimes spoilt otherwise correct solutions. Candidates who differentiated were
only able to pick up one method mark, for the substitution of limits.

5. The general standard of calculus displayed throughout the paper was excellent and full marks
were common on this question. A few candidates took the negative index in the wrong
x −4
direction, differentiating x–3 to obtain –2x–2 and integrating x–3 to obtain − .

6. Pure Mathematics P1
The vast majority of candidates gained the method marks and many went on to score four or
five marks; the four mark score was usually due to the omission of the arbitary constant in part
(b).
4
Differentiation and integration of − caused problems for some candidates, and those who
x2
6x3 − 4
wrote y as before differentiating were usually defeated.
x2
Providing 8x–3 in part (a) and + 4x–1 in part (b) had been seen, subsequent errors such as writing
1 1
these as or respectively, were not penalised, but it should be noted that such errors
8x 3
4x
with indices were quite common.

Core Mathematics C1
This was another straightforward question for many candidates and the principles of
differentiation and integration were understood by most. The negative power caused problems
4
for some again, they realized that the term − 2
needed to be written as –4x–2 but did not
x
4 x −1
always apply the rules successfully. In part (b) some could not simplify − to +4x–1 and a
−1
sizeable minority lost a mark for failing to include a constant of integration.

7. Most candidates made good attempts to expand the expression in part (a), although a few did
( )
2
not recognise that √ x 2 is equivalent to x and some gave 2 √ x = 2 x . Integration techniques
in part (b) were well known. The most common cause of mark loss in this part was the inability
3
to express the final answer in the required surd form, with 2 2
not being recognised as 2Ö2,
3 3
and 8 × 2 2
sometimes “simplified” to 16 2 .

8. No Report available for this question.
