  1. Question 1. Dan sketches the graph of y = cos x for 0^° ≤ x ≤ 360^°. Here is his sketch. Find Dan's mistake.

    Show worked answerHide worked answer
    1. M1: finds the value of y when x = 0 for y = cos x, which is 1
    2. A1: Dan's curve passes through (0, 0), so he has drawn the graph of y = sin x
    Answer: The graph of y = cos x passes through (0, 1) but Dan's curve passes through (0, 0) (he has drawn y = sin x)

  2. Question 2. Fatima draws a histogram using frequency as the bar height. The class 0 < t ≤ 10 has frequency 20 and the class 10 < t ≤ 40 has frequency 30. Work out the correct frequency densities and say which bar should be taller.

    1. M1: 20÷10 and 30÷30
    2. A1: 2 and 1
    3. B1: the class 0 < t ≤ 10
    Answer: Frequency densities 2 and 1; the bar for 0 < t ≤ 10 should be taller

  4. Question 4. PA and PB are tangents to a circle with centre O, touching it at A and B. Prove that PA = PB.

    Show worked answerHide worked answer
    1. B1: angles OAP and OBP are both 90°, OA = OB (radii)
    2. B1: OP is common to both triangles
    3. C1: triangles OAP and OBP are congruent (RHS), so PA = PB
    Answer: Triangles OAP and OBP are congruent (RHS), so PA = PB
