MARKING GUIDELINES
Time: 3 hours 150 marks
These marking guidelines are prepared for use by examiners and sub-examiners,
all of whom are required to attend a standardisation meeting to ensure that the
guidelines are consistently interpreted and applied in the marking of candidates'
scripts.
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.

SECTION A
QUESTION 1
(a) (1) ( x − 1)2 = 2(1 − x )
( x − 1)2 = −2( x − 1)
( x − 1) + 2( x − 1) =
2
0
( x − 1)( x − 1 + 2) =0
( x − 1)( x + 1) = 0
x =1 x = −1

5 − x + x −2 = 54 x −1
−2= 4 x − 1

(b) ( x + 1)2 < 9 Alternative
∴ x 2 + 2x + 1 < 9 ( x + 1)2 < 9
∴ x 2 + 2x − 8 < 0 x 2 + 2x − 8 < 0
∴ ( x + 4)( x − 2) < 0 Sketch: y = x 2 + 2 x − 8
Critical Values: –4; 2 x − int : x =
−4; x =
2
Solution: {x : −4 < x < 2} Solution: { x : −4 < x < 2}
Alternative
( x + 1)2 < 9
∴ −3 < x + 1 < 3
∴ −4 < x < 2
(c) ( x − 2)( x + 4) =
0
x + 2x − 8 =
2
0
∴b = 2 and c = −8

∴ y =−2 y 2 + 4y + 4 =

Roots are real and equal. ∴∆ = 42 − 4(1)(4)
∴∆ =0
∴ Roots are real and equal.
Alternative

∴ ( x − 2)2 =−4 − 4( x − 2)
∴ x 2 − 4x + 4 =−4 − 4 x + 8
∴x =2

∴ P(2 tails and 1 head) =
8
(b) (1) P (A ∩ B) = 0
(2) (i) You cannot pick a R2 and a R5 coin at the same time.
(ii) P(either a R5 or a R2)
= P(A or B)
= P(A) + P(B) mutually exclusive
= 0,36 + 0,47
= 0,83
(c) (1)
(2) P(exactly one machine is stamping R5 coins)
= 0,3 + 0,2
= 0,5
∴ 50%

(2) Tn = an 2 + bn + c
T1 = a + b + c = 1
T2 = 4a + 2b + c = 3
