Write in dark blue or black pen on both sides of the paper. You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Answer all the questions. Total marks is 100. 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. You are expected to use a graphic calculator. Unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are a llowed unless a question specifically state otherwise. Where unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are not allowed in a question, you are required to present the mathematic 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. This document consists of 6 printed pages includi ng this page.
