Write your Index number, Form Class, graphic and/or scientific calculator model/s on the cover page. Write your Index number and full name on all the work you hand in. Write in dark blue or black pen on your answer scripts. You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid. Answer all the questions. 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 the question, you are required to present the mathematical steps using mathematical notations and not calculator commands. You are reminded 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, fasten all your work securely together.

An ant of negligible size walks a distance of 10 units from the origin in the x-y plane along the x-axis. It then turns left and goes up 5 units from its current point. If the ant continues turning left and going half the distance it had previously walked, repeating the pattern, find the coordinates of the point where the ant will eventually end up. [4]

Newtons Law of Cooling states that the rate of change of the surface temperature of an object is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the object and the temperature of its surrounding at that time. The room temperature in a caf is kept constant at 20C by means of its central cooling system. It was found that the temperature of a cup of coffee left on a table in the caf will drop from 60C to 45C in 10 minutes. Express this information as a differential equation connecting in degree Celsius and t in minutes, where is the temperature of the coffee at time t. One day, Daniel bought a cup of extra hot coffee and noticed that it took 20 minutes for the temperature to cool to 45C. What is the temperature of his coffee when he first bought it? [6] [Turn Over
