DIRECTIONS TO STUDENTS Students are permitted to bring into the examination room: pens, pencils, highlighters, erasers, sharpeners, rulers, a protractor, set-squares, aids for curve sketching, 5 A4 pages of bounded notes, one approved CAS calculator and, if desired, one scientific calculator. Students are NOT permitted to bring into the examination room: blank sheets of paper and/or white out liquid/tape. Instructions Section 1 Answer all questions in pencil on the answer sheet provided for multiple-choice questions. Choose the response that is correct for the question. A correct answer scores 1, an incorrect answer scores 0. Marks will not be deducted for incorrect answers. No marks will be given if more than one answer is completed for any question. Instructions Section 2 Answer all questions in the spaces provided. An exact answer is required to a question unless otherwise stated. In questions where more than one mark is available, appropriate working must be shown. Unless otherwise indicated, the diagrams in this book are not drawn to scale.

SECTION 2 Extended Response Question 1 Lisa the lifesaver is training for an endurance competition. Part of the training requires the competitors to start on the shoreline and sprint to cones situated on the sand, then she sprints back to the shoreline, dives in the water and swims to some buoys. The drill is completed when she has swum back to the shoreline. Lisas path is modelled by where t is the time in seconds and is the distance from the shoreline in metres. (a) Sketch the graph of this function showing the path of Lisas complete training drill, correct to one decimal place.
