This question was invariably answered very well. Candidates showed some skill in algebraic
manipulation to derive the given answer in part a). Poor attempts at part b) were a rarity, though the
final mark was sometimes lost after a correctly substituted equation was seen but with little follow-up
work.
Q2a
M1(A1)
Note: Award M1 for an expansion, by whatever method, giving five terms in any order.
A1
Note: Award M1A1A0 for correct expansion not given in ascending powers of .

Those who tackled this question were generally very successful. A few, with varying success, tried to
work out the powers of the complex numbers by multiplying the Cartesian form rather than using de
Moivre’s Theorem.

Examiners report
It was pleasing to see a great many clear and comprehensive answers for this relatively straightforward
induction question. The inductive step only seemed to pose problems for the very weakest candidates.
As in previous sessions, marks were mainly lost by candidates writing variations on ‘Let ’, rather
than ‘Assume true for ’. The final reasoning step still needs attention, with variations on ‘
’ evident, suggesting that mathematical induction as a technique is not
clearly understood.

Award A1 for x intercept seen. Award A1 for y intercept seen.
Award A1 for the graph of being the reflection of in the line . Candidates
are not required to indicate the full domain, but should not be shown approaching .
Candidates, in answering (iii), can FT on their sketch in (ii).
Examiners report
Part (d)(i) Generally well done, but some candidates failed to label their final expression as .
Part (d)(ii) Marks were lost by candidates who failed to mark the intercepts with values.

domain.

Examiners report
Many candidates obtained full marks, but some responses were inefficiently expressed. A very small
minority attempted to use the exact roots, usually unsuccessfully.
