Find dy/dx when
- (i)y = cos 2x sin(x/3),[4]
- (ii)y = tan x / (1 + ln x).[4]
Mark scheme
Marking points from the official mark scheme (May/June 2014). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.
- [B1 + B1] - 2 sin 2x and 1/3 cos (x/3) each trig function correctly differentiated
- [M1] Attempt at product rule
- [A1ft] cos 2x (1/3 cos(x/3)) - 2 sin 2x sin(x/3) isw ft k₁ sin 2x and k₂ cos(x/3) provided k₁, k₂ are non-zero
- [B1 + B1] sec² x and 1/x or equivalent with negative indices.
- [M1] Attempt at quotient rule (with given quotient) or rearrangement to correct product and attempt at product rule
- [A1] ((sec² x)(1 + ln x) - (tan x)(1/x)) / (1 + ln x)² isw penalise poor bracketing if not recovered
