    Exam Information

    • Permitted Items (Part A): Pens, pencils, highlighters, erasers, sharpeners, rulers, the bound reference, lecture pad of notes

    • Not Permitted Items (Part A): Blank sheets of paper, white out, calculators

    • Permitted Items (Part B): Pens, pencils, highlighters, erasers, sharpeners, rulers, one bound reference, one approved CAS calculator, and (if desired) one scientific calculator

    • Not Permitted Items (Part B): Blank sheets of paper, white out, calculators during reading time, dictionaries

    • General Instructions:

      • Answer all questions in the provided space.
      • Show appropriate working for multi-mark questions.
      • Diagrams are not drawn to scale unless stated otherwise.

    Section A Questions (Multiple Choice)

    • Instructions: Answer all questions on a separate answer sheet. Each correct answer is worth 1 mark. Incorrect or multiple answers will not be penalized.

    • Question 1: Finding the value of a in a sinusoidal function with period 5π/2.

    • Question 2: Finding the solutions to a quadratic equation expressed as 8x^2 - 14x + 3=0.

    • Question 3: Determining an equivalent expression to 4√5. (√100, √80, 2√10, √40).

    • Question 4: Finding possible angles for a triangle. Relevant information: Triangle ABC, c=10, a=12, ∠A is unknown.
