CAIE A-Level Further Math A2 2.4.2 And Use Reduction Formulae for the Questions

$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} x}\left(x\left(1+x^{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{2} n}\right)=n x^{2}\left(1+x^{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{2} n-1}+\left(1+x^{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{2} n}$
Uses the product rule to differentiate.

$n\left(1+x^{2}-1\right)\left(1+x^{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{2} n-1}+\left(1+x^{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{2} n}$

M1*

Uses $x^{2}=1+x^{2}-1$.

$\left[x\left(1+x^{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{2} n}\right]_{0}^{\frac{4}{3}}=n I_{n}-n I_{n-2}+I_{n}$
Integrates both sides using the limits given. Requires
previous method mark.

$\frac{4}{3}\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^{n}=(n+1) I_{n}-n I_{n-2} \Rightarrow(n+1) I_{n}=n I_{n-2}+\frac{4}{3}\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^{n}$
Substitutes limits and rearranges. AG.
