Write in dark blue or black pen. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid. You may use a pencil for any diagrams or graphs. DO NOT WRITE IN ANY BARCODES. Answer both parts A and B. You must show all relevant working to gain full marks for correct methods, including sketches. In this paper you will also be assessed on your ability to provide full reasons and communicate your mathematics clearly and precisely.

Here is the method to construct a sequence for this investigation. Method Example Write down any two numbers for the first two terms. 3 and 7 Add these two terms to make the third term. 3 + 7 = 10 Add the second and third terms to make the fourth term. 7 + 10 = 17 Add the third and fourth terms to make the fifth term. 10 + 17 = 27 Continue in this way to construct the sequence. This example makes the sequence: 3, 7, 10, 17, 27, 44, 1 Show that the sum of the first six terms in this sequence, divided by the fifth term, is 4.

Logarithms to base 10 are written as log. Scientists have been measuring the temperature of the earth since 1860. The table shows the increase in Earth’s temperature since 1860. The increases are averages for each decade (10 years) correct to 2 decimal places. Final year of each decade Number of years since 1860 (N) Temperature increase since 1860 in °C (T) 1890 30 0.02 1900 40 0.03 1910 50 0.04 1920 60 0.06 1930 70 0.08 1940 80 0.10 1950 90 0.13 1960 100 0.18 1970 110 0.24 1980 120 0.32 1 (a) On the grid, plot the temperature increase (T) against the number of years since 1860 (N), for 30 Ğ N Ğ 120. Draw a smooth curve that shows the increase in temperature. 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 40 30 50 60 70 80 Number of years since 1860 90 100 110 120 130 T N Temperature increase (°C)

CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2013 series 0607 CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL MATHEMATICS 0607/06 Paper 40 (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 should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2013 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components. www.XtremePapers.com
