Markscheme

* This question is from an exam for a previous syllabus, and may contain minor differences in marking or structure.

let x = tan θ

d x d θ = sec 2 θ      (A1)

1 ( x 2 + 1 ) 2 d x = sec 2 θ ( tan 2 θ + 1 ) 2 d θ      M1

 

Note:     The method mark is for an attempt to substitute for both x and d x .

 

= 1 sec 2 θ d θ (or equivalent)     A1

when x = 0 ,   θ = 0 and when x = 1 ,   θ = π 4     M1

0 π 4 cos 2 θ d θ     AG

[4 marks]

a.

( 0 1 1 ( x 2 + 1 ) 2 d x = 0 π 4 cos 2 θ d θ ) = 1 2 0 π 4 ( 1 + cos 2 θ ) d θ    M1

= 1 2 [ θ + sin 2 θ 2 ] 0 π 4      A1

= π 8 + 1 4      A1
