Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (Oct/Nov 2021). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

  1. [B3] M2 for 1/2 e^(2x) - (x+1)⁻¹ + c oe or M1 for any two terms correct from 1/2 e^(2x), -(x+1)⁻¹, +c
  2. [M1] FT their c from (a), providing c ≠ 0 [y =] 1/4 e^(2x) - ln(x+1)
  3. [M1] +their c/2 x + d
  4. [A1] [y =] 1/4 e^(2x) - ln(x+1) + 5/2 x + 15/4 oe
