READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your index number, class, name and calculator model in the spaces at the top of this page. Write in dark blue or black pen. You may use a pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid. Answer all 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. Working in pencil will not be marked. The total of the marks for this paper is 80. You are expected to use a scientific calculator to evaluate explicit numerical expressions. 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. Give answers in degrees to one decimal place. For , use either your calculator value or 3.142. FOR EXAMINER’S USE 80 This document consists of 19 printed pages. Setter(s) : Mrs Lee Ann Gee O O

7 [Turn over 7 (i) A result of global warming is that the ice of some glaciers is melting. Twelve years after the ice disappears, tiny plants, called lichen, start to grow on the rocks. Each lichen grows approximately in the shape of a circle. The relationship between the diameter of this circle and the age of the lichen can be approximated with the formula, 7 12dt=− for t ≥ 12, where d represents the diameter of the lichen in millimetres, and t represents the number of years after the ice has disappeared. Calculate the diameter of the lichen, 16 years after the ice disappeared. For Examiner’s Use Answer ……………………………...mm [1] (ii) Anniston measured the diameter of some lichen and found it to be 35 millimetres. How many years ago did the ice disappear? Answer ....……………………..……years [2]
