Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (Oct/Nov 2019). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

  1. [3] B3 p^(7/2)q^(5/3)r^(-7/3) B1 for each term or for each of a = -7/2, b = -5/3, c = -7/3
  2. [1] M1 For change of base.
  3. [1] M1 Dep for forming a 3 term quadratic equation in log₇x and a correct attempt to solve
  4. [1] M1 Dep on both previous M marks for dealing with a base 7 logarithm correctly
  5. [1] A1 For both x=7, x=49
