[If a numerical answer cannot be given exactly, and the accuracy
required is not specified in the question, then in the case of an angle
it should be given correct to the nearest degree, and in other cases it
should be given to 2 significant figures.]

3
a) √9 [3]
3
b) √63 [3]
2. Given 𝑦 = 4𝑥 2 − 𝑥, determine the approximate change in 𝑦 if 𝑥 changes from 1 to
1.02. [5]
3. The radius of a sphere decreases from 6.0 cm to 5.96 cm. determine the
approximate change in;
a) the surface area, and
b) the volume. [7]
4. The time of swing T of a pendulum is given by 𝑇 = 𝑘√𝑙, where 𝑘 is a constant.
Determine the percentage change in the time of swing if the length of a pendulum 𝑙
changes from 32.1 cm to 32.0 cm. [6]

5. Water is being poured into a cone, with its vertex pointing downwards. This is
shown in the diagram below. The cone is initially empty and water is poured in at a
rate of 25cm3 s −1 . Find the rate at which the depth of the liquid is increasing after 30
seconds. [6]
𝑟
ℎ
60°
6. Ink is dropped on to bottling paper forming a circular stain which increases in area
at a rate of 2.5cm2 /s. Find the rate at which the radius is changing when the area of
the stain is 16𝜋cm2 . [5]
7. A container in the form of a right circular cone of height 16 cm and the base radius
4 cm is held vertex downward and filled with water. If water leaks out from the
vertex at a rate of 4 cm3 /s, find the rate of change of the depth of water in the cone
when half of the water has leaked out. [6]
8. Given that 1° = 0.0175 rad, sin 60° = 0.8660 and sin 45° = 0.7071, use 𝑓(𝜃) = cos 𝜃
to find an approximate value of cos 59°. [3]
