C4 January 2013 Q4
4.

Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation \(y = \dfrac{x}{1 + \sqrt{x}}\). The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis, the line with equation \(x = 1\) and the line with equation \(x = 4\).
| \(x\) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| \(y\) | 0.5 | 0.8284 | 1.3333 |
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| 1.0981 | B1 cao |
| (1) |
Notes
B1: 1.0981 correct answer only. Look for this on the table or in the candidate’s working.
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| \(\text{Area} \approx \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1;\ \times \underline{\left[0.5 + 2(0.8284 + \text{their } 1.0981) + 1.3333\right]}\) | B1; M1 |
| \(= \dfrac{1}{2} \times 5.6863 = 2.84315 = 2.843\ \text{(3 dp)}\) 2.843 or awrt 2.843 | A1 |
| (3) |
Notes
B1: Outside brackets \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 1\) or \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)
M1: For structure of trapezium rule \(\left[\ \underline{\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots}\ \right]\)
A1: anything that rounds to 2.843
Note: Working must be seen to demonstrate the use of the trapezium rule. Note: actual area is 2.85573645…
Note: Award B1M1 A1 for \(\dfrac{1}{2}(0.5 + 1.3333) + (0.8284 + \text{their } 1.0981) = 2.84315\)
Bracketing mistake: Unless the final answer implies that the calculation has been done correctly
Award B1M0A0 for \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 1 + 0.5 + 2(0.8284 + \text{their } 1.0981) + 1.3333\) (nb: answer of 6.1863).

You can ignore the integral sign and the \(\mathrm{d}u\).

Ie. \(\dfrac{(u^3 - 3u^2 + 3u - 1)}{u} \to u^2 - 3u + 3 - \dfrac{1}{u}\)
2nd A1: \(\displaystyle\int \frac{(u - 1)^3}{u}\,\mathrm{d}u \to \left(\frac{u^3}{3} - \frac{3u^2}{2} + 3u - \ln u\right)\)
