Write in dark blue or black pen. You may use an HB pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, glue or correction fluid. Answer all the questions. Total marks : 100 Write your answers in the spaces provided in the question paper. Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 signi ficant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question. The use of an approved graphing calculator is expected, where appropriate. Unsupported answers from a graphing calculator are allowed unless a question specifically states otherwise. Where unsupported answers from a graphing calculator are not allowed in a question, you are required to present the mathematical steps using mathem atical 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.
2 [Turn Over 1 A function f is defined by 32f ( )x ax bx cx d . The graph of f ( )yx passes through the points ( 1, 15) and (2, 3).

[3] (b) An arithmetic series has first term b and common difference d, where b and d are non-zero. A geometric series has first term a and common ratio r, where a is non- zero and r is positive. It is given that the 3rd, 5th and 7th terms of a geometric series are equal to the 7th, 13th and 25th terms of an arithmetic series respectively. Find the value of r and determine if the geometric series is convergent. [4] 3 Figure 1 shows the net of a square-based pyramid. The net consists of a square of side length x cm and four isosceles triangles, each with base x cm and fixed sides k cm. The net is folded to form a right pyramid which has a square base of side length x cm, as shown in Figure 2. k cm Figure 1 k cm Figure 2 k cm k cm x cm x cm k cm x cm

A tentage for an outdoor activity is built by attaching a piece of polyester tent fabric to the tops of four vertical poles AE, BF, DG & CH, where E, F, G and H are positioned at ground level on the x-y plane. Coordinates of A, B, C and D are as shown in the diagram below, with lengths measured in meters. The length of the pole DG is k meters. (i) Find the cartesian equation of the plane ABDC.

7 [Turn Over 10 Hyperglycaemia, also known as high blood sugar, is a medical condition that can affect a significant portion of the population. One potential treatment involves regulating blood sugar levels by administering insulin. During a clinical trial, insulin is added to the bloodstream of a patient, and the body's insulin regulation removes excess glucose from the bloodstream at a rate directly proportional to the amount of glucose present in the bloodstream. The rate of increase of glucose level in the bloodstream is inversely proportional to the amount of glucose present in the bloodstream of hyperglycaemic patients. The amount of glucose present in the bloodstream of the patient at time t (in minutes) is denoted by Q mmol/L (millimoles per litre). I t is given that the amount of glucose in the bloodstream remains constant when Q = 4. (i) Show that the rate of change of the amount of glucose present in the bloodstream at time t satisfies the differential equation 2d
