Show that d/dx [0.4x⁵ (0.2 - ln 5x)] = kx⁴ ln 5x, where k is an integer to be found.

  1. (i)Show that d/dx [0.4x⁵ (0.2 - ln 5x)] = kx⁴ ln 5x, where k is an integer to be found.[2]
  2. (ii)Express ln 125x³ in terms of ln 5x.[1]
  3. (iii)Hence find ∫ (x⁴ ln 125x³)dx.[2]

Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (May/June 2017). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

  1. [M1] (their 0.4x⁴)(0.2 - ln 5x) + 0.4x⁵ (their -5/(5x)) oe or their 0.4x⁴ - (their 2x⁴)ln 5x + 0.4x⁵ (their -5/(5x)) oe (clearly applies correct form of product rule)
  2. [A1] -2x⁴ ln 5x isw
  3. [B1] 3ln 5x or ln 5x + ln 5x + ln 5x
  4. [M1] FT k = 2 from (i) allow for -3/2 ∫ (2x⁴ ln 5x)dx or, when k = -2, for ∫ (x⁴ ln 5x)dx = -0.2x⁵(0.2 - ln 5x) or -2/3 ∫ (3x⁴ ln 5x)dx = 0.4x⁵(0.2 - ln 5x) oe or, when FT k = 2, for ∫ (x⁴ ln 5x)dx = 0.2x⁵(0.2 - ln 5x) or 2/3 ∫ (3x⁴ ln 5x)dx = 0.4x⁵(0.2 - ln 5x) oe
  5. [A1] -3/2 (0.4x⁵(0.2-ln5x)) [+] oe isw cao nfww; implies M1 An answer of 0.6x⁵(0.2-ln5x) following k = 2 from (i) implies M1 A0
