Markscheme

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

expressing h ( 1 ) as a product of f ( 1 ) and  g ( 1 )     (A1)

eg f ( 1 ) × g ( 1 ) ,   2 ( 9 )

h ( 1 ) = 18     A1     N2

[2 marks]

a.

attempt to use product rule (do not accept h = f × g )     (M1)

eg h = f g + g f ,   h ( 8 ) = f ( 8 ) g ( 8 ) + g ( 8 ) f ( 8 )

correct substitution of values into product rule     (A1) 

eg h ( 8 ) = 4 ( 5 ) + 2 ( 3 ) ,   6 + 20

h ( 8 ) = 14     A1 N2
