Some candidates did not seem to know that the origin was (0, 0) and a few used the y-intercept of y = 2x + 5, for example. Other candidates found the distance from the origin to the mid-point (–2, 2...

This question required a sketch, and the majority of candidates recognised the need to draw a cosine graph over two cycles with the correct amplitude. A certain degree of accuracy was required, and some responses showed incorrect curvature, particularly at both ends. This spoiled an otherwise good response. In some responses, the symmetrical centre section was very skewed. Some candidates drew mo...
