READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST

Do not open this booklet until you are told to do so.

Write your name, class and index number on all the work you hand in.

Write in dark blue or black pen on both sides of the paper. You may use a soft pencil for any
diagrams or graphs.
Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid.

Answer all the questions.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, 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 graphic calculator.
Unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are allowed unless a question specifically
states otherwise.
Where unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are not allowed in a question, you
are required to present the mathematical steps using mathematical notations and not
calculator commands.

You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers.

9 In a medical research centre, a particular species of insect is grown for treatment of
open wounds. The insects are grown in a dry and cool container, and they are left to
multiply. The increase in the number of insects at the end of each week is at a
constant rate of 4% of the number at the beginning of that week. At the end of each
week, 10 of the insects would die due to space constraint and are removed from the
container.
A researcher puts y insects at the beginning of the first week and then a further y at the
beginning of the second and each subsequent week. He also decides that he will not
take any live insects out of the container.
