C4 June 2015 Q8
8.

Figure 3 shows a sketch of part of the curve \(C\) with equation \[y = 3^x\]
The point \(P\) lies on \(C\) and has coordinates \((2, 9)\).
The line \(l\) is a tangent to \(C\) at \(P\). The line \(l\) cuts the \(x\)-axis at the point \(Q\).
The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 3, is bounded by the curve \(C\), the \(x\)-axis, the \(y\)-axis and the line \(l\). This region \(R\) is rotated through \(360^\circ\) about the \(x\)-axis.
Give your answer in the form \(\dfrac{p}{q}\) where \(p\) and \(q\) are exact constants.
[You may assume the formula \(V = \dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\) for the volume of a cone.] (6)

Notes
B1: \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = 3^x\ln 3\) or \(\ln 3\left(\mathrm{e}^{x\ln 3}\right)\) or \(y\ln 3\). Can be implied by later working.
M1: Substitutes either \(x = 2\) or \(y = 9\) into their \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}\) which is a function of \(x\) or \(y\) to find \(m_T\) and
- either applies \(y - 9 = (\text{their } m_T)(x - 2)\), where \(m_T\) is a numerical value.
- or applies \(y = (\text{their } m_T)x + \text{their } c\), where \(m_T\) is a numerical value and \(c\) is found by solving \(9 = (\text{their } m_T)(2) + c\)
Note: The first M1 mark can be implied from later working.
M1: Sets \(y = 0\) in their tangent equation, where \(m_T\) is a numerical value, (seen or implied) and progresses to \(x = \ldots\)
A1: An exact value of \(2 - \dfrac{1}{\ln 3}\) or \(\dfrac{2\ln 3 - 1}{\ln 3}\) or \(\dfrac{\ln 9 - 1}{\ln 3}\) by a correct solution only.
Note: Allow A1 for \(2 - \dfrac{\lambda}{\lambda\ln 3}\) or \(\dfrac{\lambda(2\ln 3 - 1)}{\lambda\ln 3}\) or \(\dfrac{\lambda(\ln 9 - 1)}{\lambda\ln 3}\) or \(2 - \dfrac{\lambda}{\lambda\ln 3}\), where \(\lambda\) is an integer, and ignore subsequent working.
Note: Using a changed gradient (i.e. applying \(\dfrac{-1}{\text{their } \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}}\) or \(\dfrac{1}{\text{their } \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}}\)) is M0 M0 in part (a).
Note: Candidates who invent a value for \(m_T\) (which bears no resemblance to their gradient function) cannot gain the 1st M1 and 2nd M1 mark in part (a).
Note: A decimal answer of 1.089760773… (without a correct exact answer) is A0.

Notes
B1: A correct expression for the volume with or without \(\mathrm{d}x\)
Note: Eg: Allow B1 for \(\pi\displaystyle\int \left(3^x\right)^2\{\mathrm{d}x\}\) or \(\pi\displaystyle\int 3^{2x}\{\mathrm{d}x\}\) or \(\pi\displaystyle\int 9^x\{\mathrm{d}x\}\) or \(\pi\displaystyle\int \left(\mathrm{e}^{x\ln 3}\right)^2\{\mathrm{d}x\}\) or \(\pi\displaystyle\int \left(\mathrm{e}^{2x\ln 3}\right)\{\mathrm{d}x\}\) or \(\pi\displaystyle\int \mathrm{e}^{x\ln 9}\{\mathrm{d}x\}\) with or without \(\mathrm{d}x\)
M1: Either \(3^{2x} \to \dfrac{3^{2x}}{\pm\alpha(\ln 3)}\) or \(\pm\alpha(\ln 3)3^{2x}\) or \(9^x \to \dfrac{9^x}{\pm\alpha(\ln 9)}\) or \(\pm\alpha(\ln 9)9^x\)

Note: \(3^{2x} \to \dfrac{3^{2x+1}}{\pm\alpha(\ln 3)}\) or \(9^x \to \dfrac{9^{x+1}}{\pm\alpha(\ln 3)}\) are allowed for M1
Note: \(3^{2x} \to \dfrac{3^{2x+1}}{2x + 1}\) or \(9^x \to \dfrac{9^{x+1}}{x + 1}\) are both M0
Note: M1 can be given for \(9^{2x} \to \dfrac{9^{2x}}{\pm\alpha(\ln 9)}\) or \(\pm\alpha(\ln 9)9^{2x}\)
A1: Correct integration of \(3^{2x}\). Eg: \(3^{2x} \to \dfrac{3^{2x}}{2\ln 3}\) or \(\dfrac{3^{2x}}{\ln 9}\) or \(9^x \to \dfrac{9^x}{\ln 9}\) or \(\mathrm{e}^{2x\ln 3} \to \dfrac{1}{2\ln 3}\left(\mathrm{e}^{2x\ln 3}\right)\)
dM1: dependent on the previous method mark being awarded.
Attempts to apply \(x = 2\) and \(x = 0\) to integrated expression and subtracts the correct way round.
Note: Evidence of a proper consideration of the limit of 0 is needed for M1. So subtracting 0 is M0.
B1ft: \(V_{\text{cone}} = \dfrac{1}{3}\pi(9)^2\left(2 - \text{their answer to part } (a)\right)\).
Sight of \(\dfrac{27\pi}{\ln 3}\) implies the B1 mark.
Note: Alternatively they can apply the volume formula to the line segment. They need to achieve the result highlighted by **** on either page 29 or page 30 in order to obtain the B1ft mark.
A1: \(\dfrac{13\pi}{\ln 3}\) or \(\dfrac{26\pi}{\ln 9}\) or \(\dfrac{26\pi}{2\ln 3}\), etc., where their answer is in the form \(\dfrac{p}{q}\)
Note: The \(\pi\) in the volume formula is only needed for the 1st B1 mark and the final A1 mark.
Note: A decimal answer of 37.17481128… (without a correct exact answer) is A0.
Note: A candidate who applies \(\displaystyle\int 3^x\,\mathrm{d}x\) will either get B0 M0 A0 M0 B0 A0 or B0 M0 A0 M0 B1 A0
Note: \(\pi\displaystyle\int 3^{x^2}\,\mathrm{d}x\) unless recovered is B0.
Note: Be careful! A correct answer may follow from incorrect working
\(V = \pi\displaystyle\int_0^2 3^{x^2}\,\mathrm{d}x - \dfrac{1}{3}\pi(9)^2\left(\dfrac{1}{\ln 3}\right) = \pi\left[\dfrac{3^{x^2}}{2\ln 3}\right]_0^2 - \dfrac{27\pi}{\ln 3} = \dfrac{\pi 3^4}{2\ln 3} - \dfrac{\pi}{2\ln 3} - \dfrac{27\pi}{\ln 3} = \dfrac{13\pi}{\ln 3}\)
would score B0 M0 A0 dM0 M1 A0.
