Evaluates correctly values of y on both sides of both correct stationary points 4. Finds gradient on each side of both correct stationary points. Any incorrect statement MAX B2 B2 for 1 correct with correct reason for that stationary point or for both x-values correct and reasonable sketch of a positive cubic or for correct substitution and evaluation of both of their x-values into their second derivative or substitution and evaluation for one x-value on both sides of both of their stationary points to find the gradients soi or M1 for showing [2nd derivative =] 6x – 18 or correct FT their 2nd derivative from part (a) or substitution and evaluation shown for one x- value on both sides of one of their stationary points to find the gradients soi or for sketch of any positive cubic.
