At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together.
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 in the space below that question.
Omission of essential working will result in loss of marks.
The total of the marks for this paper is 80.
You are expected to use an electronic calculator to evaluate explicit numerical expression. You may use mathematical
tables as well if necessary.
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,unless the question requires the answer in terms of .
