| Topic | Numerical integration |
| Type | Complete table then apply trapezium rule |
| Difficulty | Standard +0.2 This is a straightforward multi-part question requiring routine techniques: substituting into a given function, applying the trapezium rule formula, and performing a standard substitution for integration. The substitution is explicitly suggested, and all steps follow standard C4 procedures with no novel problem-solving required. Slightly easier than average due to the guided nature. |

**Notes for (b)**
B1: Outside brackets $\frac{\ln 2}{2}\times\ln 2$ or $\frac{\ln 2}{2}$ or awrt $0.35$ or $\frac{\text{awrt } 0.69}{2}$.
Also allow $-\frac{1}{2}\times\ln 2$ or $-\frac{\ln 2}{2}$ or awrt $-0.35$ or $-\text{awrt}\frac{0.69}{2}$.
M1: For structure of trapezium rule $[...........]$
A1: anything that rounds to $2.69$
Note: It is possible to award: (a) B0 (b) B1M1A1 (awrt 2.69)
Note: Working must be seen to demonstrate the use of the trapezium rule. Note: actual area is $2.66666...$
Note: Award B1M1A1 for $\frac{\ln 2}{2}(2.1333+0.6667)+\ln 2(\text{their } 1.4792+1.0079)=2.694332406...$
**Notes for (c)(i)**
B1: For $\frac{du}{dx}=-3e^{-x}$ or $du=-3e^{-x}dx$ or $\frac{dx}{du}=\frac{-1}{(u-1)}$ or $\frac{dx}{-3e^{-x}}=du$ or equivalent.
M1: Applying the substitution and achieving $\pm\lambda\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{u}}(du)$ or $\pm\lambda\int u^{-\frac{1}{2}}(du)$, $\lambda \neq 0$
Note: Any $(u-1)$ terms need to be cancelled out for this M1 mark.
A1: $\frac{4}{9}\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{u}}du$ or $-\frac{4}{9}\int u^{-\frac{1}{2}}(du)$ or equivalent.
dM1: (dependent on the first M mark) Integrates $\pm\lambda\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{u}}du$ to give $\pm\beta u^{\frac{1}{2}}, \lambda \neq 0, \beta \neq 0$
A1: $-\frac{8}{9}\sqrt{(1+3e^{-x})}, \text{simplified or un-simplified, with/without } +c$
Note: $\int\frac{4(du)}{3\sqrt{u}} \times \frac{-du}{(u-1)}$ is M0A0 unless the $(u-1)$ terms have been cancelled out later
but $\int\frac{4(u-1)}{3\sqrt{u}} \times \frac{-du}{(u-1)}$ is M1A1.
**Notes for (c)(ii)**
M1: Applies limits of $x=-3\ln 2$ or $-2.07...$ and $x=0$ to an expression of the form $\pm A\sqrt{(1+3e^{-x})}$ and subtracts either way round.
Or attempts to apply limits of $u=25$ and $u=4$ to an expression in the form $\pm\beta u^{\frac{1}{2}}$ and subtracts either way round.
A1: $\frac{8}{3}$ or anything that rounds to $2.67$.
Note: The final A1 mark in (c)(ii) is dependent on (c)(i) B1M1A1M1 and (c)(ii) M1.

Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation $y = \frac { 4 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } } { 3 \sqrt { } \left( 1 + 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \right) }$\\
The finite region $R$, shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by the curve, the $x$-axis, the line $x = - 3 \ln 2$ and the $y$-axis.
The table below shows corresponding values of $x$ and $y$ for $y = \frac { 4 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } } { 3 \sqrt { } \left( 1 + 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \right) }$
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ | c | c | c | c | c | }
\hline
$x$ & $- 3 \ln 2$ & $- 2 \ln 2$ & $- \ln 2$ & 0 \\
\hline
$y$ & 2.1333 & & 1.0079 & 0.6667 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item Complete the table above by giving the missing value of $y$ to 4 decimal places.
\item Use the trapezium rule, with all the values of $y$ in the completed table, to obtain an estimate for the area of $R$, giving your answer to 2 decimal places.
\item \begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*)]
\item Using the substitution $u = 1 + 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x }$, or otherwise, find
$$\int \frac { 4 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } } { 3 \sqrt { } \left( 1 + 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \right) } \mathrm { d } x$$
\item Hence find the value of the area of $R$.
