Text from the first pagesSAINT ANDREW’S JUNIOR COLLEGE Preliminary Examination MATHEMATICS Higher 2 9758/01 Thursday 24 August 2017 3 hours Additional materials : Answer paper List of Formulae (MF26) Cover Sheet READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your name, civics group and index number on all the work you hand in. 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 : 100 Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of agles 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 allowed unless a question specifically states otherwise. Where unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are not allowed in a question, you are required to present the mathematical 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 including this page. [Turn over

Assuming that the initial volume of the bubble is negligible, find the exact rate in terms of at which the surface area of the bubble is increasing when the volume of the bubble is 20 cm3.

When he reaches the coach, he runs back to S along the same straight line. A lap is completed when he returns to S. At the beginning of the training session, the coach stands at 1A which is 30 m away from S. After the first lap, the coach moves from 1A to 2A and after the second lap, he moves from 2A to 3A and so on. The distance between iA to 1iA is denoted by 1iiAA , i . Figure 1 (i) For training regime 1 (shown in Figure 1) , the coach ensures that the distance 1 3 miiAA for i . Find the least number of laps that the athlete must complete so that he covers a total distance of more than 3000 m. [3] Figure 2 (ii) For training regime 2 (shown in Figure 2), af ter the first lap, the coach ensures that the distances 12AA = 2 m, 23 6 mAA and the distance 12 1 3ii i iAA A A where i . Show that the distance the coach is away from S just before the athlete completed r laps is 13 29r m. Hence find the distance run by the athlete after n complete laps. Also find how far the athlete is from the coach after he has run 8 km. [6] S

[4] 10 A population of 15 foxes has been introduced into a national park. A zoologist believes that the population of foxes, x, at time t years, can be modelled by the Gompertz equation given by: d4 0 lnd x cxtx , where c is a constant.
