READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your Centre number, candidate number and name on all the work you hand in. 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 fl uid. DO NOT WRITE IN ANY BARCODES. Answer all questions. If working is needed for any question it must be shown below that question. Electronic calculators should be used. If the degree of accuracy is not specifi ed in the question, and if the answer is not exact, give the answer to three signifi cant fi gures. Give answers in degrees to one decimal place. For π, use either your calculator value or 3.142. 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. The total of the marks for this paper is 130.
