Easy -1.2 This is a straightforward definite integration question requiring only basic integration rules (power rule for polynomials and x^{-1/2}) followed by substitution of limits. It's routine C2 material with no problem-solving element—purely procedural application of standard techniques, making it easier than average.
M1: At least one power increased \(x^n\to x^{n+1}\). A1: Two of three terms correct un-simplified or simplified (constant not required). A1: All three terms correct un-simplified or simplified (constant not required)
M1: Substitutes limits 4 and 1 and subtracts correct way round. A1: 32 cao (32 + c is A0). Question requires calculus so correct answer only scores no marks
## Question 3:

| $\int\!\left(6x-3-\frac{2}{\sqrt{x}}\right)dx = \frac{6x^2}{2}-3x-\frac{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}}+(c)$ | M1 A1 A1 | M1: At least one power increased $x^n\to x^{n+1}$. A1: Two of three terms correct un-simplified or simplified (constant not required). A1: All three terms correct un-simplified or simplified (constant not required) |
| $\left[\frac{6x^2}{2}-3x-\frac{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}}+(c)\right]_1^4=(28)-(-4)=32$ | M1 A1 | M1: Substitutes limits 4 and 1 and subtracts correct way round. A1: 32 cao (**32 + c is A0**). Question requires calculus so correct answer only scores no marks |
