Question 1
On the diagram, sketch the graph of y=f(x) for . Show the values of the intersections with the axes.
On the diagram, sketch the graph of y=f(x) for −3⩽x⩽4. Show the values of the intersections with the axes.
Correct sketch and -2,0 and 3 indicated on x-axis, with graph going beyond intersections with x-axis.
B2 for correct sketch without labels.
B1 for any positive cubic with two turning points.
The diagram shows a sketch of y=18+5x−2x2.
Find the coordinates of the points A, B and C.
(-2,0)(0,18)(4.5,0) oe
B1 for B=(0,18)
B3 for A=(-2,0) and C=(4.5,0) oe
or B2 for x=-2 and x=4.5 oe
or B1 for (9-2x)(2+x) oe or either A or C correct
On the diagram, sketch the graph of y=x3−5x2+2x+8, indicating the values where the graph crosses the axes.
Correct labelled sketch positive cubic
Crossing x-axis at -1,2 and 4 only Crossing y-axis at 8 only
4
B1 for positive cubic
B2 for three intercepts only with x-axis labelled at -1,2 and 4
or B1 for 1 or 2 correctly labelled x - intercepts
B1 for a single intercept on y-axis labelled at 8 but not if line y=8
