Answer all the questions in the spaces provided. Use black ink throughout, though any diagrams and graphs should be done in pencil.
In any questions involving calculationsyou may use a calculator and, in these questions, it is important that you show your working.
Remember: the marks are a guide as to how much you need to write. If an answer is worth two marks you will need to state two facts, or one fact and an explanation.
