Mark scheme
Marking points from the official mark scheme (May/June 2025). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.
- [B2] B1 for d/dx (tan(x/2)) = 1/2 sec²(x/2) soi
- [M1] FT for a product rule of correct structure with their d/dx (tan(x/2))
- [M1] Correct small changes relationship δy/h = their dy/dx |_(x=π/3)
- [A1] Dependent on B2 1.94h
