M1: Sets the numerator of their \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}\) equal to zero (or the denominator of their \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}x}{\mathrm{d}y}\) equal to zero) o.e.
Note: This mark can also be gained by setting \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}\) equal to zero in their differentiated equation from (a)
Note: If the numerator involves one variable only then only the 1st M1 mark is possible in part (b).
dM1: dependent on the previous M mark
Substitutes their \(x\) or their \(y\) (from their numerator = 0) into the printed equation to give an equation in one variable only
A1: For obtaining the correct 3TQ. E.g.: either \(3x^2 - 6x - 3\ \{= 0\}\) or \(-3x^2 + 6x + 3\ \{= 0\}\)
Note: This mark can also be awarded for a correct 3 term equation. E.g. either \(3x^2 - 6x = 3\)
\(x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0\) or \(x^2 = 2x + 1\) are all fine for A1
ddM1: dependent on the previous 2 M marks
See page 6: Method mark for solving THEIR 3-term quadratic in one variable
Quadratic Equation to solve: \(3x^2 - 6x - 3 = 0\)
Way 1: \(x = \dfrac{6 \pm \sqrt{(-6)^2 - 4(3)(-3)}}{2(3)}\)
Way 2: \(x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow (x - 1)^2 - 1 - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow x = \ldots\)
Way 3: Or writes down at least one exact correct \(x\)-root (or one correct \(x\)-root to 2 dp) from their quadratic equation. This is usually found on their calculator.
Way 4: (Only allowed if their 3TQ can be factorised)
- \((x^2 + bx + c) = (x + p)(x + q)\), where \(|pq| = |c|\), leading to \(x = \ldots\)
- \((ax^2 + bx + c) = (mx + p)(nx + q)\), where \(|pq| = |c|\) and \(|mn| = a\), leading to \(x = \ldots\)
Note: If a candidate applies the alternative method then they also need to use their \(x = \dfrac{4 - y}{2}\) to find at least one value for \(x\) in order to gain the final M mark.
A1: Exact values of \(x = 1 + \sqrt{2},\ 1 - \sqrt{2}\) (or \(1 \pm \sqrt{2}\)), cao. Apply isw if \(y\)-values are also found.
Note: It is possible for a candidate who does not achieve full marks in part (a), (but has a correct numerator for \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}\)) to gain all 5 marks in part (b)
