2. (a) For a reasonable attempt to complete the square, (or expanding) (M1)
e.g. 3x2 12x + 11 = 3(x2 4x + 4) + 11 12
f(x) = 3(x 2)2 1 (accept h = 2, k = 1) A1A1 N3
(b) METHOD 1
Vertex shifted to (2 + 3, 1 + 5) = (5, 4) M1
so the new function is 3(x 5)2 + 4 (accept p = 5, q = 4) A1A1 N2
METHOD 2
g(x) = 3((x 3) h)2 + k + 5 = 3((x 3) 2)2 1 + 5 M1
= 3(x 5)2 + 4 (accept p = 5, q = 4) A1A1 N2

5. (a) attempt to apply rules of logarithms (M1)
e.g. ln ab = bln a, ln ab = ln a + ln b
correct application of ln ab = bln a (seen anywhere) A1
e.g. 3ln x = ln x3
correct application of ln ab = ln a + ln b (seen anywhere) A1
e.g. ln 5x3 = ln 5 + ln x3
so ln 5x3 = ln 5 + 3ln x
g (x) = f (x) + ln5 (accept g (x) = 3ln x + ln 5) A1 N1 4
