READ IHESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST

Write your name, exam number and CT group on all the work you hand in.
Write in dark blue or black pen on boih sides of the paper.
You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs.
Do not use slaples, paper clips, highlighters, g{ue or correction fluid.

Answer all the questions.

Give non exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figltes, or 1 decimal place in the
case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question
You are expected to use a oraphic calculator.
Unslrpported answers from a graphic calculator are allowed unless a question specifically

Where unsupported answers from a graphic calcu{ator are not allowed in a question. you are
requked to present the mathematical steps using mathematical notations and not calculator

You arc reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers

At the end of the examinaiion, fasten all your work securely iogether-
