For
LHS: A1
RHS: A1
so true for
now assume true for ; i.e. M1
Note: Do not award M1 for statements such as "let ". Subsequent marks can still be awarded.
attempt to differentiate the RHS M1
A1
A1
so true for implies true for
therefore true and true true
therefore, true for all R1
Note: Award R1 only if three of the previous four marks have been awarded
