| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| \(R=\sqrt{20}\) | B1 |
| \(\tan\alpha=\dfrac{4}{2}\Rightarrow\alpha=\) awrt \(1.107\) | M1A1 |
| (3) |
Notes
B1 Accept \(R=\sqrt{20}\) or \(2\sqrt{5}\) or awrt 4.47
Do not accept \(R=\pm\sqrt{20}\)
This could be scored in parts (b) or (c) as long as you are certain it is \(R\)
M1 for sight of \(\tan\alpha=\pm\dfrac{4}{2},\ \tan\alpha=\pm\dfrac{2}{4}\). Condone \(\sin\alpha=4,\cos\alpha=2\Rightarrow\tan\alpha=\dfrac{4}{2}\)
If \(R\) is found first only accept \(\sin\alpha=\pm\dfrac{4}{R},\ \cos\alpha=\pm\dfrac{2}{R}\)
A1 \(\alpha=\) awrt 1.107. The degrees equivalent \(63.4^\circ\) is A0.
If a candidate does all the question in degrees they will lose just this mark.
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| (i) \(\text{'}4+5R^2\text{'}=104\) | B1ft |
| (ii) \(3\theta-\text{'}1.107\text{'}=\dfrac{\pi}{2}\Rightarrow\theta=\) awrt \(0.89\) | M1A1 |
| (3) |
Notes
(b)(i)
B1ft Either 104 or if \(R\) was incorrect allow for the numerical value of their \(\text{'}4+5R^2\text{'}\).
Allow a tolerance of 1 dp on decimal \(R\)'s.
(b)(ii)
M1 Using \(3\theta\pm\text{their '}1.107\text{'}=\dfrac{\pi}{2}\Rightarrow\theta=..\)
Accept \(3\theta\pm\text{their '}1.107\text{'}=(2n+1)\dfrac{\pi}{2}\Rightarrow\theta=..\) where \(n\) is an integer
Allow slips on the lhs with an extra bracket such as \(3\left(\theta\pm\text{their '}1.107\text{'}\right)=\dfrac{\pi}{2}\Rightarrow\theta=..\)
The degree equivalent is acceptable \(3\theta-\text{their '}63.4^\circ\text{'}=90^\circ\Rightarrow\theta=\)
Do not allow mixed units in this question
A1 awrt 0.89 radians or \(51.1^\circ\). Do not allow multiple solutions for this mark.

B1 4
(c)(ii)
M1 Using \(3\theta\pm\text{their '}1.107\text{'}=2\pi\Rightarrow\theta=\ldots\)
Accept \(3\theta\pm\text{their '}1.107\text{'}=n\pi\Rightarrow\theta=..\) where \(n\) is an integer, including 0
Allow slips on the lhs with an extra bracket such as \(3\left(\theta\pm\text{their '}1.107\text{'}\right)=2\pi\Rightarrow\theta=..\)
The degree equivalent is acceptable \(3\theta-\text{their '}63.4^\circ\text{'}=360^\circ\Rightarrow\theta=\) but
Do not allow mixed units in this question
A1 \(\theta=\) awrt 2.46 radians or \(141.1^\circ\) Do not allow multiple solutions for this mark.
