SECONDARY 4 PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS Paper 2 4049/02 2 September 2025 (Tuesday) 2 hours 15 minutes CANDIDATE NAME CLASS 4 - INDEX NUMBER Candidates answer on the Question Paper. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your full name, class and index number in the spaces above. Write in dark blue or black pen in the space provided for each question. You may use a HB 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 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 90. 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 p, use either your calculator value or 3.142. This document consists of 21 printed pages including the cover page and 1 blank page.

3 Answer all the questions. 1 (i) It is given that f(𝑥)=𝑥4−𝑝𝑥3+7𝑥2+𝑥−𝑞 has a quadratic factor 𝑥2−2𝑥−3. Show that 𝑝=5 and 𝑞=12. [5] (ii) Hence, solve the equation 𝑥4−𝑝𝑥3+7𝑥2+𝑥−𝑞=0. [3] [Turn over

4 2 (a) Without using a calculator, find the integer value of (5lg2) (2lg3) (5lg9) (2lg6). [3] (b) Given that log2(𝑦2)=4−log0.5𝑥, express 𝑦 in terms of 𝑥. [3]

5 (c) Solve the equation 2e𝑥=3−5√e𝑥. [4] [Turn over

6 3 A metal cube is heated to a temperature of 205 ℃ before being dropped into a liquid. As the cube cools, its temperature, 𝑇 ℃, t minutes after it enters the liquid is given by 𝑇=𝐾+175e−𝑚𝑡, where 𝐾 and 𝑚 are constants. (i) Show that the value of 𝐾 is 30. [1] When 𝑡=3, the temperature of the cube reaches 128 ℃. (ii) Find the value of 𝑚. [3]

7 (iii) Find the rate at which the temperature of the cube is decreasing at the instant when 𝑡=8. [3] (iv) Explain why the temperature of the cube can never fall below 30 ℃. [2] [Turn over

8 4 (a) In the expansion of (2+𝑥2)(12𝑥−𝑎𝑥)5, there is no term in 𝑥. Given that 𝑎≠0, find the value of the constant 𝑎. [5]

9 (b) Write down and simplify the first three terms in the expansion of (2+𝑥22)5 in ascending powers of 𝑥. Hence find the estimated value of (2.005)5, showing all your workings clearly. [4] [Turn over
