Show that ∫(from π/2 to 3π/2) ((sinθ+cosθ)² + (sinθ−cosθ)²)dθ = kπ, where k is an integer to be found.

  1. Show that ∫(from π/2 to 3π/2) ((sinθ+cosθ)² + (sinθ−cosθ)²)dθ = kπ, where k is an integer to be found.[5]

Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (Oct/Nov 2025). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

  1. [5] M1 for expansion of both terms with an attempt to simplify either using the correct identity or eliminating terms in 2sinθcosθ
  2. M1 Dep M1 for ∫ 2 dθ = 2θ
  3. Dep M1 for correct use of limits [2θ] (from π/2 to 3π/2) = 3π - π = 2π
