MARKING GUIDELINE
JUNE 2024
MARKS : 100
TIME : 2 hours
NOTE:
• If a candidate answers a question TWICE, only mark the FIRST attempt.
• If a candidate has crossed out an attempt of a question and not redone the question, mark the
crossed out version.
• Consistent accuracy applies in ALL aspects of the marking guidelines. Stop marking at the second
calculation error.
• Assuming answers/values to solve a problem is NOT acceptable.
GEOMETRY
A mark for a correct statement
S
(A statement mark is independent of a reason.)
A mark for a correct reason
R
(A reason mark may only be awarded if the statement is correct.)
S/R Award a mark if the statement AND reason are both correct.

5.1
𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑎(𝑥 − 𝑝)2 + 𝑞
C(2; 9): 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑎(𝑥 − 2)2 + 9 ✓ substitution: C(2; 9)
A(0; 5) 5 = 𝑎(0 − 2)2 + 9 ✓ substitution: A(0; 5)
−4 = 𝑎(−2)2
−4 = 4𝑎
𝑎 = −1 ✓ 𝑎 = −1
𝑔(𝑥) = −(𝑥 − 2)2 + 9
