5. 2n part (a) there was a lot of good wor3 for the implicit differentiation$ with man4
candidates scoring the first three mar3s. !or a significant group of candidates however$

Although man4 candidates had an e,tra

man4 candidates had an e,pression with two fractions e0ual and simpl4 e0uated the
numerators and e0uated the denominators$ showing some lac3 of understanding of
e0ual fractions.
8art () proved more difficult than e,pected. )an4 candidates indicated an attempt to
sustitute to otain an e0uation in 5ust one variale$ ut the wor3 was often full of
arithmetic and algeraic errors. 7oo man4 used long methods to find the second
variale pre#errin$ to $o "ac% to the quadratic equation rather than use x = 2y. /thers
egan again$ with two e0uations$ and eliminated the second variale. 9orrect final
answers were relativel4 rare and a large numer of candidates wrote their co1ordinates
as (y$ x) not (x$ y). 7his was disappointing at this level.
