Write your answers on the separate writing paper provided.
Write your name, index number and class on all the work you hand in.
Write in dark blue or black pen.
You may use a soft pencilfor any diagrams, graphs, tables or rough working.
Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid.

Answer ALL questions.

The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question

lf working is needed for any question, it must be shown with the answer,
Omission of essential working will result in a loss of marks.
The total number of marks in this paper is 80.

You are expected to use a scientific calculator to evaluate explicit numerical expressions.
lf the degree of accuracy is not specified in the question, and if the answer is not exact,
give the answer to three significant figures. Give answers in degrees to 1 decimal place.
For n, use either your calculator value or 3.142, unless the question requires the answer in
terms of n.

At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together

DO NOT TURN OVER THE QUESTION PAPER UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO.
