TAYLORS COLLEGE V CAMBRIDGE ‘A’ LEVEL PROGRAMME A2 TRIAL EXAMINATION AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2004 (tave-2004 Intake) Friday 3 September 2004 8.30 am — 11.30 pm FURTHER MATHEMATICS 9231/1 PAPER 1 3 hours Additional materials: Answer Paper List of Formulae (M10) READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your name and ciass on all the work you hand in. Write in dark blue or black pen on both sides of the paper. You may use a Soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid. Answer all the questions. Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question. At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together. “The number of marks is given in brackets {] at the end of each question or part question, ‘The use of a calculator fs expected, where appropriate. Results obtained solely from graphic calculator, without supporting working or reasoning, will not receive credit. ‘You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers.
