FSMQ Additional Mathematics (6993) Report, Summer 2004

c
lo
ud
.c
The regulations for an Advanced FSMQ, as stated clearly in the specification, is that the appropriate

om
starting point is a good grade at Higher Tier. Many candidates started from here and achieved good
scores, including some full marks, which was most encouraging. However, as stated last year, it was
equally clear that many candidates had not started from the appropriate place. Many candidates not
only failed to demonstrate any understanding of the extension material but failed to demonstrate the
sort of understanding of some Higher Tier topics. There were a distressing number of candidates
scoring very low marks, including single figures and 0. This cannot have been a positive experience
for them. Centres are encouraged to seek advice, if necessary, to find the most appropriate course
for their students and to seek for further advice on this particular course.
The mean mark was 50.4, down 8 marks from last year, indicating that candidates found the paper
this year a little more difficult. The thresholds were reduced accordingly.

Section A
Q1. (Coordinate Geometry)
Weaker candidates usually struggle with this topic, but the basic focus of this question should have
enabled all candidates to get started. In fact a number were not able to find the gradient of a line
given two points on it. In part (ii) the mid-point was also often wrong. Most candidates found the
mid-point, found the equation of AC and showed that one lay on the other. Very few appealed to
geometry, or found gradients of, say, AM and AC showing them to be equal.

[ Gradients 3 and − ; lines perpendicular.; Midpoint (1, − 1) ]

Q2. (Area under curve).

In spite of the diagram given not everyone used the correct limits, and then a number got the
arithmetic wrong at the end, even offering an answer of 0!!
2
[ Area = 10 ]
3

Q3. (Trigonometry on 3-D shape)

Often well done, but the greatest error was a failure to use Pythagoras properly taking
AM2 = 502 + 252 . A few used other methods, such as the cosine rule and a number did not take
enough care over the information given, interchanging 50 and 60.
[61.20.]

Q4. (Stationary values).

Most candidates were able to differentiate. Not quite so many were able to deal with the common
dy
factor of 6 in the process of solving = 0. Even fewer were able to justify mathematically the
dx
minimum point..
[x = 2.]

Q5. (Trigonometrical ratios for angles greater than 900.)

Candidates were not comfortable with this question. In part (i) the idea of one ratio being positive
and another negative giving the quadrant within which the angle lay was not familiar with most
candidates. A number found all the angles satisfying the tan ratio and all the angles satisfying the
cos ratio and took the (only) common value. Others gave a number of answers for which they were
penalised. In part(ii) the relationship between tan, sin and cos, a specific specification topic, was not
well known. Squaring and using Pythagoras was of course an option but no one trying it this way
got it right.
[(a) 216.90 (b) 116.60 and 296.60.]

Q6. (Binomial expansion)

c
lo
A significant number of candidates did not expand using the binomial theorem, choosing instead to

ud
.c
multiply out. This was of course acceptable, but long winded. Either way, a number were not able

om
( 3)
3
to use the fact that =3 3.
[ 26 + 15 3 ]

Q7. ( Intersection of line and curve).

The usual errors were offered, most notably y 2 = 12 − x 2 ⇒ y = 12 − x . Other errors included
expanding (3x + 1)2 = 3x2 + 1.
It is worth noting here that the rubric requires answers to 3 significant figures unless otherwise
stated. Candidates ought to be aware of this and be more careful in the way they give their answers.
A number lost a mark here by not giving their answers to 2 decimal places as required.
[ (-1.39, -3.17) and (0.79, 3.37)]

Q8. (Trigonometry - cosine and sine rules).

This was usually well done except for the calculation of the final bearing, for which a significant
number of candidates lost a mark. Given the context of the question, 3 significant figures gives the
nearest degree. We condoned one decimal place in this question but no more.
[3080.]

Q9. (Binomial Probability)

The most significant error in this question was a failure to understand what “at least” means. It was
expected that candidates would work 1 - P(0) - P(1). Some worked out the other 4 terms instead but
a number gave P(2) as the answer.
[0.0815.]

Q10. (Factor Theorem)

Many found the connections between the parts difficult. Most candidates got part (i) correct but
were then unable to use this in part (ii), preferring instead to start again with an attempt to solve a
quadratic equation by the formula resulting in a negative discriminant and hence ho roots. This was
perfectly acceptable but took rather longer than the award of one mark would warrant.
Likewise, part (iii) was done well but candidates were usually unable to use this in part (iv) to
factorise and to find the quadratic that they had been dealing with in the first two parts.
[ (x + 3)2 + 2.]

Section B
Q11. ( Linear programming)
There were many successful answers to this question, but also many who clearly had not covered
this part of the syllabus. Once the inequalities had been derived and the graphs drawn the last part
was straightforward, and it is quite possible that most candidates guessed the answer as, on this
occasion, the objective function was not asked for.
((i) (9, 0) (ii) (0, 12), (iii) (6, 6) ]

Q12. (Coordinate geometry of the circle)

Candidates were not in general comfortable with this topic, and the derivation of the equation of the
circle was not always successful. Candidates often also had difficulty finding the equation of the
tangent. Many muddled the x and y axes, finding where this tangent cut the y axis.
[ (a) (x – 8)2 + (y – 4)2 = 25 (b)(i) 3x + 4y = 65, (b)(ii) 28.4 cm.]

Q13. (Algebra)

c
lo
A significant number of candidates did not answer this question as they were unable to relate speed,

ud
.c
distance and time. Many that might have done well then muddled the units, creating an equation

om
involving 50 rather than 5/6. However, many were able to reenter the question for the last part as the
quadratic equation was given in the question, and this resulted in up to half marks.

v v + 20 v v + 20

Q14. ( Calculus)
The question was generally well done except for two rather disappointing errors.
In part (b)(ii), candidates “lost” the denominator of 64. While this still gave a = 0 at t = 8 the
acceleration function was not strictly correct.
In part (b)(iii) candidates “integrated” the denominator, giving the correct integrand divided by 64t.
[ (a) (i) 2.5 ms-2, (ii) 80 m, (b) (ii) 0, (iii) 80m. ]
