FOR TEACHERS ONLY PEIRCE SECONDARY SCHOOL 2021 Preliminary Examination for Secondary 4E/4AO/5A ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS Paper 2 Mark Scheme Question Answer Mar ks Partial Marks Guidance 1(i) 2 = = M1 For attempt to apply . Allow for numerical errors and algebraic slips = = A1 Ignore extra brackets. OR 2 M1 Correct dividend: Correct divisor: For attempt to apply long division A1 Ignore extra brackets.
1(ii) 0 marks for attempt to solve M1 For attempt to apply factorisation by taking out common factor . Allow for algebraic slips and numerical errors but the other factor must be quadratic factor. M1 For attempt to apply factorisation. Step must be shown explicitly but allow for errors in factors ∴ , x = 5 or x = 1 A1 For all 3 correct solutions. 2(i) 5 M1 Attempt for partial fractions. M1 For attempt to remove denominator. Allow for numeric slips and algebraic slips At , M1 Correct choice of value for substitution At x = 0, M1 Correct choice of value for substitution At , ∴ A1 Accept or o.e.
Ignore redundant brackets by students. i i = M1 Replace with their partial fractions. Correct application of addition/subtraction rule. = = M1 M1 Attempt to apply power rule for 1st term Attempt to apply reciprocal rule for 2nd and 3rd term. No penalty if c is missing. Allow for numerical and sign errors = = = 1.2232 − (−2) = 3.22 A1 Ignore ‘units2’ if given. OR [4] = M1 Replace with their partial fractions. Correct application of addition/subtraction rule. = M1 M1 Attempt to apply power rule for 1st term Attempt to apply reciprocal rule for 2nd and 3rd term. Allow for numerical and sign errors No penalty if c is present and later omitted. = = 3.22 A1 o.e. single expression such as
3(i) , OR , OR , OR , 1 B1 Accept ‘and’ in place of comma. Reject ‘or’ in place of comma. 3(ii) 5 M1 B1 Attempt to apply change of base Allow for numerical errors and algebraic slips Correct evaluation to get −4 Let , M1 Simplify to any quadratic equation This steip might be implied. or M1 Their u values Allow for numerical errors But , and ∴ or 9 A1 Not awarded if any value is rejected.
