sin A.cos B = ½ [sin(A + B) + sin (A - B)]

cos A.sin B = ½ [sin(A + B) – sin(A - B)]

INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION

1. Half marks are not allocated, unless indicated otherwise.

2. Where formula is required, using the wrong formula is a principle error and NO
marks are allocated.

3. Students should show ALL formulae and intermediate steps and simplify where
possible.

4. ALL final answers must be rounded off to THREE decimal places (unless indicated
otherwise).

5. Questions may be answered in any order, but subsections of questions must be kept
together. If subsections are separated, the student can be penalised by ONE mark.

6. Where a student copied wrong from the question paper, and the standard of the
question is still the same, the student will be penalised by ONE mark.
If the copying error simplifies the question and makes it easier, the student forfeits the
marks.

7. Questions must be answered in blue or black ink. Answers in PENCIL will not be
marked as it is regarded as rough work.
