If working is needed for any question, it must be shown with the answer. Omission of essential working will result in loss of marks. The use of an approved scientific calculator is expected, where appropriate. 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 π, use either your calculator or 3.142, unless the question requires the answer in terms of π. At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together.
