ACS (Independent) / Mathematics Department / Mathematics AA HL / Year 5 / 2023 Final Examination / Paper 2 2 Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be supported by working and/or explanations. 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. Section A Answer all questions. Answers must be written within the answer boxes provided. Working may be continued below the lines, if necessary. 1.
