The Fibonacci sequence is a sequence of numbers that is found in many real-life situations. The Fibonacci sequence begins 1 1 2 3 5 ……. where, apart from the first two terms, each term is the sum of the previous two terms. For example 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, 2 + 3 = 5 and so on. 1 Complete the table for the first 15 Fibonacci numbers. You must show your working. Term position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Fibonacci number 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233

Logarithms to base 10 are written as log. 1 The table below shows information about seven planets in the Solar System. Planet Distance from the Sun (S km) Time to orbit the Sun (T days) log S log T Mercury 5.79 x 107 88 7.8 1.9 Venus 1.08 x 108 225 8.0 2.4 Earth 1.50 x 108 365 8.2 2.6 Mars 2.28 x 108 687 Jupiter 7.78 x 108 4 330 Saturn 1.43 x 109 10 800 Pluto 5.91 x 109 90 800 9.8 5.0 Complete the table of values for log S and log T. Give each value correct to 2 significant figures. 2 (a) On the grid opposite, plot the seven points (log S, log T). (b) Plot the mean point (8.6, 3.2) and use this to draw a line of best fit. (Do this by eye. Do not use your calculator.) 3 The time taken for the planet Uranus to orbit the Sun is 30 685 days. Use your graph to estimate the distance of Uranus from the Sun. Give your answer correct to 2 significant figures. km 4 Let x = log S and y = log T. The equation of the line of best fit is y = mx + c. Use your calculator to find the values of m and c. Give each answer correct to 2 significant figures. m = c = 5 A model for this is log T = mlog S + c. The distance of the planet Neptune from the Sun is 4.50 x 109 km. Use the model to find the time taken for Neptune to orbit the Sun. Give your answer in standard form correct to 2 significant figures. days

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2010 question paper for the guidance of teachers 0607 CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL MATHEMATICS 0607/06 Paper 6 (Extended), maximum raw mark 40 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the examination. • CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2010 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses. www.XtremePapers.com
