* This sample question was produced by experienced DP mathematics senior examiners to aid teachers in preparing for external assessment in the new MAA course. There may be minor differences in formatting compared to formal exam papers.

attempts to solve x2sinx=-1-1+4x+22       (M1)

x=-2.76,-1.54        A1A1

 

Note: Award A1A0 if additional solutions outside the domain are given.

a.

A=-2.762-1.537-1-1+4x+22-x2sinxdx (or equivalent)       (M1)(A1)

 

Note: Award M1 for attempting to form an integrand involving “top curve” − “bottom curve”.

 

so A=1.47          A2
