Examiner's Report

Q1.
This question was not well answered. The majority of candidates had little idea of the general
shapes of the curves detailed in the specification. Curve A, y = x2 + 4, was the most successful
match. Some candidates did not seem to recognise the equation of the exponential curve and wrote
y = 2x instead of y = 2x. Commonly, there were attempts to plot graphs of the given equations, but
this approach was not generally successful.

Q4.
Only a minority of students gained full marks here. There was no particular pattern to the confusion
that surrounded the majority of students. Many clearly simply guessed.

Q5.
Some good answers in this question, with many gaining at least 2 marks.
