Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be
supported by working and/or explanations. In particular, solutions found from a graphic display
calculator should be supported by suitable working, e.g. if graphs are used to find a solution, you
should sketch these as part of your answer. Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given
for a correct method, provided this is shown by written working. You are therefore advised to show all
working.
Answer all questions in the boxes provided. Working may be continued below the lines if necessary.
