O Levels 2022 A Maths Solutions
Please email me if you spot any mistakes or have any questions.
Solutions to the 4049 specimen paper, 2014-2021 papers and selected questions from 2002-2013 papers can be accessed in the Additional Maths members area.
Thoughts on the papers
For paper 1, the challenging questions are:
Question 4(a) - Form and solve quadratic inequality (The confusing part is how to form the inequality!)
Question 6 - Use integration to find equation of curve from second derivative (tedious!)
Question 8(a) - Solve simultaneous equations with surds
Question 9(a) - Increasing function (dy/dx > 0)
Question 12 - Kinematics (especially if you don’t know what is an oscillation!)
Question 13(b) - Normal to the curve
For paper 2, the challenging questions are:
Question 5(a) - Trigonometry: Special angles & addition formula
Question 8(c) - Integration as reverse of differentiation
Question 9(b) - Circles
Overall, paper 2 easier than paper 1 (😂).

(a)
\begin{align} 2x^2 - 8x + 11 & = 2(x^2 - 4x) + 11 \\ & = 2 \left[ x^2 - 4x + \left(4 \over 2\right)^2 - \left(4 \over 2\right)^2 \right] + 11 \\ & = 2 ( x^2 - 4x + 2^2 - 4 ) + 11 \\ & = 2 [ (x - 2)^2 - 4 ] + 11 \\ & = 2 (x - 2)^2 - 8 + 11 \\ & = 2 (x - 2)^2 + 3 \\ \\ y & = 2(x - 2)^2 + 3 \\ \\ \text{Minimum } & \text{point: } (2, 3) \end{align}
(b)
\begin{align}
y & = 2x^2 - 8x + 11 \phantom{00} \text{-- (1)} \\
\\
y & = 2x + 3 \phantom{00} \text{--- (2)} \\
\\
\text{Substitute } & \text{(2) into (1),} \\
2x + 3 & = 2x^2 - 8x + 11 \\
0 & = 2x^2 - 10x + 8 \\
0 & = x^2 - 5x + 4 \\
0 & = (x - 1)(x - 4)
\end{align}
\begin{align}
x - 1 & = 0 && \text{ or } & x - 4 & =0 \\
x & = 1 &&& x & = 4 \\
\\
\text{Substitute } & \text{into (2),} &&& \text{Substitute } & \text{into (2),} \\
y & = 2(1) + 3 &&& y & = 2(4) + 3 \\

\therefore {2x^3 + 5x^2 + 6 \over x^3 + 2x} & = 2 + {5x^2 - 4x + 6 \over x^3 + 2x}
\end{align}
(b)

\begin{align}
\text{For } 0 < k < 7, \phantom{.} 2k < 4k &\text{ and } 14 - 2k > 14 - 4k \\
