| Topic | Trig Graphs & Exact Values |
| Type | Use trapezium rule with trig function |
| Difficulty | Moderate -0.8 This is a straightforward application of the trapezium rule with values provided in a table, combined with sketching a standard trig graph. Both parts require only routine procedures: (a) sketching y=sin(2x) using standard transformations and finding x-intercepts, (b) applying the trapezium rule formula with given y-values. No problem-solving or novel insight needed, making it easier than average. |

## Question 5:
### Part (a):
| Working | Mark | Guidance |
|---------|------|----------|
| Sketch of positive sine curve passing through O with at least one complete cycle from O | B1 | Correct shape with positive gradient through $O$; ignore any part of curve to left of origin |
| Correct shape with one and a half cycles (from O to $\frac{3\pi}{2}$) crossing $x$-axis at $\frac{\pi}{2}$ and $\pi$ | B1 | If curve extends beyond $x=\frac{3\pi}{2}$ then $x=\frac{3\pi}{2}$ must be labelled; labels for $\frac{\pi}{2}$ and $\pi$ may be on diagram or in text but not just in table; must be radians not degrees (allow awrt 1.57 and 3.14) |
### Part (b):
| Working | Mark | Guidance |
|---------|------|----------|
| Table: $x: 0,\ \frac{\pi}{12},\ \frac{\pi}{6},\ \frac{\pi}{4}$; $y: 0,\ 0.5,\ 0.866,\ 1$ | — | — |
| Uses $\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{\pi}{12}$ | B1 | Need $\frac{1}{2}$ of $\frac{\pi}{12}$ or to see $\frac{\pi}{24}$; may be implied by $\frac{1}{2}h=\frac{1}{2}\!\left(\frac{\pi}{6}-\frac{\pi}{12}\right)=\frac{1}{2}(0.261...)$ |
| $\cdots\{(0+1)+2(0.5+0.866)\}$ | M1 | First bracket: first plus last values; second bracket: no additional values from table; if $x$ values used instead of $y$ values scores M0 |
| $0.4885176576\ldots$ awrt **0.49** | A1 | — |
**Special Case:** Bracketing mistake $\frac{\pi}{24}(0+1)+2(0.5+0.866)$ scores B1 M1 A0 unless final answer implies correct calculation. Need to see trapezium rule used so answer only (no working) is 0/3.

5. (a) Sketch the graph of $y = \sin 2 x , \quad 0 \leqslant x \leqslant \frac { 3 \pi } { 2 }$
Show the coordinates of the points where your graph crosses the $x$-axis.
The table below gives corresponding values of $x$ and $y$, for $y = \sin 2 x$.\\
The values of $y$ are rounded to 3 decimal places where necessary.
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ | c | c | c | c | c | }
\hline
$x$ & 0 & $\frac { \pi } { 12 }$ & $\frac { \pi } { 6 }$ & $\frac { \pi } { 4 }$ \\
\hline
$y$ & 0 & 0.5 & 0.866 & 1 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

(b) Use the trapezium rule with all the values of $y$ from the table to find an approximate value for\\
