Method mark for solving 3 term quadratic: 1. Factorisation [pic], leading to x = … [pic], leading to x = … 2. Formula Attempt to use correct formula (with values for a, b and c). 3. Completing the square Solving [pic]: [pic], leading to x = … Method marks for differentiation and integration: 1. Differentiation Power of at least one term decreased by 1. ([pic]) 2. Integration Power of at least one term increased by 1.
