A particle P moves along a straight line so that its velocity, \(v\,{\text{m}}{{\text{s}}^{ – 1}}\), after \(t\) seconds, is given by \(v = \cos 3t – 2\sin t – 0.5\), for \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 5\). The initial displacement of P from a fixed point O is 4 metres.

The following sketch shows the graph of \(v\).

METHOD 1

recognizing \(s = \int v \)     (M1)

recognizing displacement of P in first 5 seconds (seen anywhere)     A1

(accept missing \({\text{d}}t\))

eg\(\,\,\,\,\,\)\(\int_0^5 {v{\text{d}}t,{\text{ }} – 3.71591} \)

valid approach to find total displacement     (M1)

eg\(\,\,\,\,\,\)\(4 + ( – 3.7159),{\text{ }}s = 4 + \int_0^5 v \)

0.284086

0.284 (m)     A2     N3

METHOD 2

recognizing \(s = \int v \)     (M1)

correct integration     A1

eg\(\,\,\,\,\,\)\(\frac{1}{3}\sin 3t + 2\cos t – \frac{t}{2} + c\) (do not penalize missing “\(c\)”)

attempt to find \(c\)     (M1)

eg\(\,\,\,\,\,\)\(4 = \frac{1}{3}\sin (0) + 2\cos (0)–\frac{0}{2} + c,{\text{ }}4 = \frac{1}{3}\sin 3t + 2\cos t – \frac{t}{2} + c,{\text{ }}2 + c = 4\)

attempt to substitute \(t = 5\) into their expression with \(c\)     (M1)

eg\(\,\,\,\,\,\)\(s(5),{\text{ }}\frac{1}{3}\sin (15) + 2\cos (5)5–\frac{5}{2} + 2\)

Note: The shape must be a concave-down parabola.
Only if the shape is correct, award the following for points in circles:
A1 for vertex,
