INDEX NUMBER MATHEMATICS 4052/01 Paper 1 October/November 2026 2 hours 15 minutes Candidates answer on the Question Paper. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your Centre number, index number and name on all the work you hand in. 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. DO NOT WRITE ON ANY BARCODES. 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 with the answer. 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. Gives answers in degrees to one decimal place. For π, use either your calculator value or 3.142. This document consists of 21 printed pages and 1 blank page. 0006270
