What examiners said
Plotting the points on the grid proved challenging and fully correct curves were in the minority. Most issues concerned the plotting of (–0.1, 3.3) which was often plotted at (–0.05, 3.3). When the points were plotted correctly, the quality of curves was generally very good although a few had their points joined by ruled line segments.
— Examiner report, February/March 2022, 0580/42 Q2(b) (Cambridge)
There were comparatively few strong responses to this question. A small number of answers drew the required line but then misinterpreted the horizontal scale when reading off the solution. Some were able to identify the required line and gave the correct solution but without drawing the required line. A high proportion of scripts contained no attempt at a response.
— Examiner report, February/March 2022, 0580/42 Q2(c) (Cambridge)
Many correct answers were seen. Most errors involved misinterpretation of the composite function gf(x) as 1 + 4x2 or as 1 + 4x or as x2(1 + 4x).
