TopicIntegration by Parts
TypeStationary points then area/volume
DifficultyStandard +0.8 Part (a) requires finding stationary points by differentiating a product (sin x cos 2x), applying product and chain rules, solving a trigonometric equation, and selecting the correct root. Part (b) requires integration by parts on sin x cos 2x, which involves careful manipulation and potentially multiple applications. The combination of non-trivial differentiation, equation solving, and integration by parts with trigonometric functions makes this moderately challenging, though each technique is standard for Further Maths Pure.
