   ✓ ONLY penalise for rounding in Q1.1.2
   ✓ CALCULUS ONLY penalise for notation in Q7.1

NOTE:
• If a candidate answers a question TWICE, only mark the FIRST attempt.
 • If a candidate has crossed out an attempt of a question and not redone the question, mark the crossed-
out version.
• Consistent accuracy applies in ALL aspects of the marking memorandum. Stop marking at the
second calculation error.
• Assuming answers/values in order to solve a problem is NOT acceptable.

NOTA:
• As 'n kandidaat 'n vraag TWEE KEER beantwoord, sien slegs die EERSTE poging na
. • As 'n kandidaat 'n antwoord van 'n vraag doodtrek en nie oordoen nie, sien die doodgetrekte poging na.
• Volgehoue akkuraatheid word in ALLE aspekte van die nasienriglyne toegepas. Hou op nasien by
die tweede berekeningsfout.
• Om antwoorde/waardes te aanvaar om 'n probleem op te los, word NIE toegelaat NIE.
