ACS (Independent) / Mathematics Department / Mathematics AA HL / Year 5 / 2023 Final Examination / Paper 1 1 Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be supported by working and/or explanations. 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. 1. [Maximum mark: 4] Solve the following equation 23𝑥𝑥−2 = 5(3−𝑥𝑥). Give your answer in the form ln 𝑎𝑎 ln 𝑏𝑏, where 𝑎𝑎 and 𝑏𝑏 are integers.
