Text from the first pages1 [TURN OVER] SERANGOON JUNIOR COLLEGE 2018 JC2 PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION MATHEMATICS Higher 2 9758/1 11 Sept 2018 3 hours Additional materials: Writing paper List of Formulae (MF 26) TIME : 3 hours READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your name and class on the cover page and on all the work you hand in. Write in blue or black pen on both sides of the paper. You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid. Answer all the questions. Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant 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 allowed unless a question specifically states otherwise. Where unsupported answers from a graphic calcul ator are not allowed in a question, you are required to present the mathematical steps us ing mathematical notatio ns 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. Total marks for this paper is 100 marks. This question paper consists of 6 printed pages (inclusive of this page) and 2 blank pages.
