    makunjap
    1. This document contains a test markscheme covering exponents, logarithms, and other related topics. It provides worked solutions to 7 multiple part questions testing these concepts. 2. Questions involve solving logarithmic and exponential equations, expressing logarithmic expressions in simplest form, using properties of logarithms, graphing functions, and applying exponential growth and decay models. 3. Full marks are awarded for correct answers supported by clear working or explanations. Partial marks may be given for correct methods even if the final answer is wrong. Graphic calculator solutions must include sketches.

    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.

    sketch, A1 for indicating appropriate points
    of intersection, and A1 for the answer.
