Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers
must be supported by working and/or explanations. Solutions found from a graphic
display calculator should be supported by suitable working. For example, 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.

Section A
Answer all questions. Answers must be written within the answer boxes provided.
Working may be continued below the lines if necessary.
