READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your name, class and register number in the spaces at the top of this page. Write in dark blue or black pen 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. Answer all the questions. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. If working is needed for any question it must be neatly and clearly shown in the space below the question. Omission of essential working will result in loss of marks. The total of the marks for this paper is 80. You are expected to use an electronic calculator to evaluate explicit numerical expressions. If 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 , use either your calculator value or 3.142, unless the question requires the answer in terms of .
