UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2010 question paper for the guidance of teachers 0581 MATHEMATICS 0581/42 Paper 4 (Extended), maximum raw mark 130 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.

Mark intention – allow one slight slip e.g. sign error from coords but not scale misread If no working shown and answer is out of range – check their tangent for method Answer in range gets 2 marks after T1 earned 8 (a) (i) Correct translation to (3, –5), (5, –6) and (4, –4) 2 SC1 for translation of     k 3 or     −7 k or vertices only (ii) Correct reflection to (4, 1), (5, 3) and (6, 2) 2 SC1 for reflection in y = 3 or vertices only (iii) Correct rotation to (–2, 0), (–1, 2) and (–3, 1) 2 SC1 for rotation 90 clockwise around (0, 0) or vertices only (iv) Correct enlargement to (0, –3), (–8, 1) and (–4, –7) 2 SC1 for two correct points or vertices only (b) 16 cao 1 (c) (i) Correct transformation to (–4, 0), (5, 3) and (–2, 0) (ii) Shear only x-axis oe invariant (factor) 3 3 1 1 1 B2 for 3 correct points shown in working but not plotted or B1 for incorrect shear drawn with x-axis invariant or two correct points shown If more than one transformation given – no marks available Accept fixed, constant oe for invariant (iii)     − 1 0 3 1 oe 2 B1 for determinant = 1 or k     − 1 0 3 1 oe
