ACS (Independent) / Mathematics Department / Mathematics HL / 2018/Final Exam / Paper 2 1 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 questions in the boxes provided. Working may be continued below the lines if necessary. 1.
