| Topic | Numerical integration |
| Type | Complete table then apply trapezium rule |
| Difficulty | Standard +0.3 This is a multi-part question covering standard C3/C4 techniques: substituting into a logarithmic function, applying trapezium rule with given values, performing integration by parts (with the result provided), and finding a volume of revolution. All parts are routine applications of standard methods with no novel problem-solving required, making it slightly easier than average. |

## Part (d):
| Answer | Mark | Guidance |
|--------|------|----------|
| Volume $= \int\pi y^2\,dx = \int\pi(2-\ln x)^2\,dx$ | B1 | Needs $\pi$ and integral symbol but not limits; can condone missing $dx$ |

| Correct integration of at least two of their three terms | M1 | Needs attempt to multiply out to at least $\lambda + \nu(\ln x)^2$ and attempt to integrate. Look for $\lambda x \pm\mu(x\ln x - x)\pm\nu\!\left(x(\ln x)^2-2x\ln x+2x\right)$ with **two of the three** terms integrated correctly (if $\mu=0$ could score M0M1) |
| $= 4x - 4(x\ln x - x) + x(\ln x)^2 - 2x\ln x + 2x\,(+c)$ | A1 | Correct answer, accept unsimplified and isw |

| $= 2\pi e^2 - 5\pi e = \pi e(2e-5)$ | A1 | Correct solution only |
**(6 marks)**
**Special case:** For those who misread and think $y=(\ln x)^2$ so Volume $=\int\pi(\ln x)^4\,dx$ — first B1 may be exceptionally awarded. This gains 1/6 marks.

Figure 5 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation $y = 2 - \ln x , x > 0$
The finite region $R$, shown shaded in Figure 5, is bounded by the curve, the $x$-axis and the line with equation $x = \mathrm { e }$.
The table below shows corresponding values of $x$ and $y$ for $y = 2 - \ln x$
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ | c | c | c | c | }
\hline
$x$ & e & $\frac { \mathrm { e } + \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 } } { 2 }$ & $\mathrm { e } ^ { 2 }$ \\
\hline
$y$ & 1 & & 0 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item Complete the table giving the 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 3 decimal places.
\item Use integration by parts to show that $\int ( \ln x ) ^ { 2 } \mathrm {~d} x = x ( \ln x ) ^ { 2 } - 2 x \ln x + 2 x + c$
The area $R$ is rotated through $360 ^ { \circ }$ about the $x$-axis.
\item Use calculus to find the exact volume of the solid generated.
Write your answer in the form $\pi \mathrm { e } ( p \mathrm { e } + q )$, where $p$ and $q$ are integers to be found.
