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. [Maximum mark: 6]
John takes medication. After 𝑡 minutes, the concentration of medication left in his
bloodstream is given by 𝐴(𝑡) = 10 (0.5)0.014𝑡 , where 𝐴 is in milligrams per litre.
