MARK SHEME Sequences and Series IB SL, 2016 ceamers) [28 MARS Full marks are not necessarily awarded fo a correct answar with ne working, Answers must be supported by working and/or explanations. In particule, solutions found from a graphic display calculator should be supported by sultable working, for example If graphs are used to {ind a solution, you should sketch these as part of your answer. Where an answer Is incorrect, some marks may be given for@ correct ‘method, provided this is shown by writen working. You are therefore advised to show al working.
