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 7 printed pages (inclusive of this page) and 1 blank page.

[2] Solution If all coefficients are real, then by co njugate root theorem, roots will occur in conjugate pairs. As f is a polynomial of degree 3, it would mean that it must
5 [TURN OVER] have either 3 real roots or it will be having 1 real root with a pair of conjugate roots. But it is given that f(z) = 0 has no real solution and so it must therefore means that at least one of the coefficients is a complex number. Hence a is not a real number.
