Answer to part a is 2.58

#

alright where does this 4x come from

iron musk
#

sorry which part you mean?

celest cargo
#

c

iron musk
#

okm

#

ok

iron musk
#

hm

#

oh wait youre right

iron musk
celest cargo
#

yeah but im not sure how they get the 2nd line in the markscheme

iron musk
#

you know how it is 2^x^2+1

#

they take out the 2 factor

#

to make it eaier to integrate

celest cargo
#

yep i get that

#

but then how do u get this

iron musk
#

sure

#

2(2^x^2-x)

#

im trying to figure out the 4x

safe ridge
#

I think what they’ve done is they’ve split 2x into -2x + 4x

#

Not sure why

#

Weird way to do it

celest cargo
#

what would be the easiest way to do it cuz im so confused

safe ridge
#

Ohh because y = 2^x - 2x

#

I know why now

#

You have to use the answe to part a

iron musk
#

yes

#

2(2.6)=5.2

safe ridge
#

You’ve already done the hard work lol

iron musk
#

bu that 4 is unknown

safe ridge
#

You just need to add on the integral of 4x with those limits

#

Yeah

iron musk
#

where did the 4 come from

safe ridge
#

That’s why it’s only 3 marks for a definite integral

iron musk
#

that is the thing im trying to figure out

safe ridge
#

I’ll send my working one second

iron musk
#

@safe ridge do you think the ms is wrong

safe ridge
#

You have to relate y to what the integral is in part c hold on I’ll show you

iron musk
#

-2x+4x=2x

#

ahh i get it now

#

because it is in the format of 2^x^2-x

#

@celest cargo

#

-2x+4x=2x

#

what they do is the plit it up

#

-2x+4x

#

i think that is why

celest cargo
#

but why tho?

#

ohh okay that makes sense, i just would never think of that lol. thanks

safe ridge
#

Yeah so in trapezium rule questions normally you use the answer that you’ve already calculated to find this new integral that they want

#

So next time they do that in a trapezium rule questions just look to find how that integral is related to what you already calculated before

#

It’s not always the case but a lot of the times it is

#

Do you sort of get it now? @celest cargo
