c
Write your name, register number and class in the spaces provided on top of this cover page
Write in dark blue or black pen.
du
You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs.
Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid.

Section A
Answer all questions.
l E

Section B
Choose three questions

lf working is needed for any question, it must be shown with the answer,
Omission of essential working will result in loss of marks.

Calculators should be used where appropriate.

ya

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 one decimal place.
For t, use either your calculator value or 3.142, unless the question requires the answer in terms of
7T.
n

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 total number of marks for this paper is 40.
