TOTAL PAGES:
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. 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.
