STRUCTURE OF BOOKLET / MARKINGSCHEME Number of questions Number of questions to be answered Total marks 10 10 78 Students are not permitted to bring mobile phones and / or any other unauthorized electronic devices into the examination room.
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. SECTION A Answer all the questions in the spaces provided. Working may be continued below the lines, if necessary. 1. [Maximum mark: 7 marks] a) Let f ( x) x 8x 9.
