Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (May/June 2019). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

  1. [B1] sec² u
  2. [M1] Attempts dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx or dy/dx = dy/du ÷ dx/du
  3. [A1] FT their (i) dy/dx = (their sec² u) / (3u²)
  4. [B1] u = (x-1)^(1/3) soi
  5. [A1] sec²((x-1)^(1/3)) / (3(x-1)^(2/3)) cao final answer
