UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS General Certificate of Education Advanced Level FURTHER MATHEMATICS 9231/01 Paper 1 October/November 2010 3 hours Additional Materials: Answer Booklet/Paper Graph Paper List of Formulae (MF10) READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST If you have been given an Answer Booklet, follow the instructions on the front cover of the Booklet. Write your Centre number, candidate number and name on all the work you hand in. Write in dark blue or black pen. You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid. Answer all the questions. Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question. The use of a calculator is expected, where appropriate. Results obtained solely from a graphic calculator, without supporting working or reasoning, will not receive credit. You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers. At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. This document consists of 4 printed pages. © UCLES 2010 [Turn over *5014820134*

4 11 It is given that x ≠0 and xd2y dx2 + 2dy dx + 4xy = 8x2 + 16. Show that if ß = xy then d2ß dx2 + 4ß = 8x2 + 16. [3] Find y in terms of x, given that y = 0 and dy dx = −2 when x = 1 2π. [9] 12 Answer only one of the following two alternatives. EITHER The curve C has equation y = x2 + 2λx x2 −2x + λ , where λ is a constant and λ ≠−1. (i) Show that C has at most two stationary points. [3] (ii) Show that if C has exactly two stationary points then λ > −5 4. [2] (iii) Find the set of values of λ such that C has two vertical asymptotes. [2] (iv) Find the x-coordinates of the points of intersection of C with (a) the x-axis, (b) the horizontal asymptote. [3] (v) Sketch C in each of the cases (a) λ < −2, (b) λ > 2. [4] OR The plane Π1 has equation r = 2i + j + 4k + λ(2i + 3j + 4k) + µ(−i + k). Obtain a cartesian equation of Π1 in the form px + qy + rß = d. [4] The plane Π2 has equation r.(i −4j + 5k) = 12. Find a vector equation of the line of intersection of Π1 and Π2. [3] The line l passes through the point A with position vector ai + (2a + 1)j −3k and is parallel to 3ci −3j + ck, where a and c are positive constants. Given that the perpendicular distance from A to Π1 is 15 √6 and that the acute angle between l and Π1 is sin−1 2 √6, find the values of a and c.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS GCE Advanced Level MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2010 question paper for the guidance of teachers 9231 FURTHER MATHEMATICS 9231/01 Paper 1, maximum raw mark 100 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the examination. • CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2010 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses.

Page 2 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper GCE A LEVEL – October/November 2010 9231 01 © UCLES 2010 Mark Scheme Notes Marks are of the following three types: M Method mark, awarded for a valid method applied to the problem. Method marks are not lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units. However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. Correct application of a formula without the formula being quoted obviously earns the M mark and in some cases an M mark can be implied from a correct answer. A Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated method mark is earned (or implied). B Mark for a correct result or statement independent of method marks. • When a part of a question has two or more “method” steps, the M marks are generally independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly when there are several B marks allocated. The notation DM or DB (or dep*) is used to indicate that a particular M or B mark is dependent on an earlier M or B (asterisked) mark in the scheme. When two or more steps are run together by the candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit is given. • The symbol √ implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A or B marks are given for correct work only. A and B marks are not given for fortuitously “correct” answers or results obtained from incorrect working. • Note: B2 or A2 means that the candidate can earn 2 or 0. B2/1/0 means that the candidate can earn anything from 0 to 2. The marks indicated in the scheme may not be subdivided. If there is genuine doubt whether a candidate has earned a mark, allow the candidate the benefit of the doubt. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored. • Wrong or missing units in an answer should not lead to the loss of a mark unless the scheme specifically indicates otherwise. • For a numerical answer, allow the A or B mark if a value is obtained which is correct to 3 s.f., or which would be correct to 3 s.f. if rounded (1 d.p. in the case of an angle). As stated above, an A or B mark is not given if a correct numerical answer arises fortuitously from incorrect working. For Mechanics questions, allow A or B marks for correct answers which arise from taking g equal to 9.8 or 9.81 instead of 10.

Page 3 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper GCE A LEVEL – October/November 2010 9231 01 © UCLES 2010 The following abbreviations may be used in a mark scheme or used on the scripts: AEF Any Equivalent Form (of answer is equally acceptable) AG Answer Given on the question paper (so extra checking is needed to ensure that the detailed working leading to the result is valid) BOD Benefit of Doubt (allowed when the validity of a solution may not be absolutely clear) CAO Correct Answer Only (emphasising that no “follow through” from a previous error is allowed) CWO Correct Working Only – often written by a ‘fortuitous' answer ISW Ignore Subsequent Working MR Misread PA Premature Approximation (resulting in basically correct work that is insufficiently accurate) SOS See Other Solution (the candidate makes a better attempt at the same question) SR Special Ruling (detailing the mark to be given for a specific wrong solution, or a case where some standard marking practice is to be varied in the light of a particular circumstance) Penalties MR –1 A penalty of MR –1 is deducted from A or B marks when the data of a question or part question are genuinely misread and the object and difficulty of the question remain unaltered. In this case all A and B marks then become “follow through √” marks. MR is not applied when the candidate misreads his own figures – this is regarded as an error in accuracy. An MR–2 penalty may be applied in particular cases if agreed at the coordination meeting. PA –1 This is deducted from A or B marks in the case of premature approximation. The PA –1 penalty is usually discussed at the meeting.
