Instructions to candidates
• Write your name, session number and class in the boxes above.
• Do not open this examination paper until instructed to do so.
• A graphic display calculator is required for this paper.
• Section A: answer all questions. Answers must be written within the answer boxes provided.
• Section B: answer all questions on the answer sheets provided. Write your name
on each answer sheet, and attach them to this examination paper .
• Unless otherwise stated in the question, all numerical answers should be given exactly or correct to
three significant figures.
• A clean copy of the mathematics: analysis and approaches formula booklet is required for this
paper.
• The maximum mark for this examination paper is [110 marks].
Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be
supported by working and/or explanations. Solutions found from a graphic display calculator should be
supported by suitable working. For example, if graphs are used to find a solution, you should sketch
these as part of your answer. Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given for a correct
method, provided this is shown by written working. You are therefore advised to show all working.
Section A
Answer all questions. Answers must be written within the answer boxes provided. Working may be
continued below the lines, if necessary.

(a) there are no restrictions, [1]
(b) the two ends must be vowels (I,O and A), [2]
(c) between any two vowels, there must be at least one consonant (D,P,L,M). [3]
Many students did not get part c) correct, same as the vowels must all be separated.

of the minor segment cut off by the chord is one-fifth of the area of the circle, find the [3]

z = 2 3 + 2i or 3.46 + 2i Surprisingly, some students does not know how to
convert from polar form to cartesian form.
Sum of roots = −2
Product of roots = 5
Quadratic factor = z 2 − ( −2 ) z + 5 z 2 + 2 z + 5
Since this is a cubic polynomial, there must be another linear factor.
p ( z ) = z 3 + az 2 + bz − 10 = ( z 2 + 2 z + 5) ( pz + q )
(z 2
+ 2 z + 5) ( z − 2 ) = z 3 + z − 10
Thus, a = 0, b = 1
Quite a number of students did ‘long division’ wrongly. The sum and product of roots they got
from the 2 complex roots are only for the quadratic factor and not of the whole cubic
polynomial

The price of cars ($) follows a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation $3 104 .
The top 10% of cars that cost above $200,000 are classified as ‘expensive’, the next 75% are
classified as ‘moderate’ and the rest are classified as ‘value for money’.
(b) Find, to the nearest dollar, the minimum price of a car to be classified as ‘moderate’ [2]
