The IEB will not enter into any discussions or correspondence about any marking guidelines. It is acknowledged that there may be different views about some matters of emphasis or detail in the guidelines. It is also recognised that, without the benefit of attendance at a standardisation meeting, there may be different interpretations of the application of the marking guidelines.

Alternate: For point of inflection: Let g "( x ) = 0 = g '( x ) 3x 2 − 6x g "( x=) 6x − 6 6x − 6 = 0 ∴x= 1 2 4 Point of intersection: x 3 − 3 x 2 = − x− 3 3 3 x − 9 x + 2x + 4 = 3 2 0 3 ± 21 x= or x = 1 3 Therefore, the graph of h does intersect the graph of g at its point of inflection. Alternate: For point of inflection: Let g "( x ) = 0 = g '( x ) 3x 2 − 6x g "( x=) 6x − 6 6x − 6 = 0 ∴x= 1 For co-ordinate of point of inflection: = (1)3 − 3(1)2 Substitute x = 1 in f (1) f (1) = −2 2 4 Substitute (1; −2 ) in y = − x− 3 3 2 4 RHS −=(1) − 3 3 RHS = −2 RHS = LHS Therefore, the graph of h does intersect the graph of g at its point of inflection.

P(all will miss)= (1 − 0,9)n ∴ P(all will miss) = 0,1n P(at least 1 will hit) = 1 − 0,1n We require: 1 − 0,1n > 0,97 When n = 1, 1 − 0,11 = 0,9 When n = 2, 1 − 0,12 = 0,99 When n = 3, 1 − 0,13 = 0,999 Therefore, at least 2 missiles should be fired. Therefore, Lulu was correct. Alternate: Let the number of missiles required for firing be n. P(all will miss)= (1 − 0,9)n ∴ P(all will miss) = 0,1n Let: 1 − 0,1n = 0,97 0,03 = 0,1n log0,1 0,03 = n n ≈ 1,5 Therefore, at least 2 missiles need to be fired to ensure at least a 0,97 chance of hitting the target. Lulu was correct Alternate: First missile fired: P(a hit) = 0,9 Second missile fired: P(a hit) = 0,9 + MH = 0,9 + (0,1 x 0,9) = 0,99 Third missile fired: P(hit) = 0,9 + MH + MMH = 0,9 + (0,1 x 0,9) + (0,1 x 0,1 x 0,9) = 0,999 Hence Lulu was correct IEB Copyright © 2018 PLEASE TURN OVER

Alternate: P(M1 U M2) = P(M1) + P(M2) – P(M1 ∩ M2) = 0,9 + 0,9 – (0,9 x 0,9) = 0,99 Similarly, if 3 missiles are fired: P(M1 U M2 U M3) = 0,999 Hence Lulu was correct IEB Copyright © 2018 PLEASE TURN OVER
