TopicSecond order differential equations
TypeStandard non-homogeneous with polynomial RHS
DifficultyModerate -0.3 This is a rational inequality requiring sign analysis and critical point identification. While it involves multiple steps (rearranging, finding critical points, testing intervals), it's a standard FP2 technique with straightforward algebra. The 6 marks suggest moderate length but the conceptual demand is routine for Further Maths students.
