You may use an HB pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, glue or correction fluid. Answer all questions. If working is needed for any question it must be shown with the answer. Omission of essential working will result in loss of marks. The use of an approved scientific calculator is expected, where appropriate. Ifthe degree of accuracy is not specified in the question, and ifthe answer is not exact, give the answer to three significant figures. Give answers in degrees to one decimal place. For m, use either your calculator value or 3.142, unless the question requires the answer in terms of 1. ‘The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. The total marks for this paper is 60. $4 Mathematics Preliminary Examination 2 e wy eet Mathematical Formulae Compound interest Total amount = Mensuration Curved surface area of a cone = trl Surface area of a sphere = 4nr? rh Volume of a cone = Volume ofa sphere = 1 Area of triangle ABC zo. sin€ Arc length = 78, where @ is in radians 1 Sector area = gr orwherg 6 isin radians Trigonometry ao Pep sinA~ sinB_ sin€ B Statistics fix : S4 Mathematics Preliminary Examination 2 2 1 Paper 1 Solve the inequality 1 < 15 ay <7 py A conical flask has a surface area of 50 cm? and a capacity of 845 em?.
