READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your name and CT class on all the work you hand in, including the Cover Page. 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. Do not write anything on the List of Formula (MF15).

Answer all the questions. Begin each answer on a fresh page of paper. 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. You are expected to use a graphic calculator. Unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are allowed unless a question specifically states otherwise. Where unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are not allowed in a question, you are required to present the mathematical steps using mathematical notations and not calculator commands. You are required of the need for clear presentation in your answers. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. At the end of the examination, place the completed cover page on top of your answer scripts and fasten all your work securely together with the string provided.

This question paper consists of 5 printed pages and 1 blank page.
