Thanks to Cameron Dole for pointing out the following mistakes. Quote: “MC17 is D not B. Option B has both methods of turning an area below graph to positive (placing neg in front and swapping limits) so they cancel out and give a negative value. Option D doubles the area from a to b (due to symmetry as f(x)=f(-x)) and then doubles area from b to 0 but uses b+c to get 0 as well as placing neg in front.
Q3f I agree with working but both CAS and a manual factorisation gives me 7p^2(p-1)^4(2p+3) which does nor expand to your answer. Then of course answers to both parts of 3g are incorrect as a consequence.”

Also thanks to Raymond Rozen of RMIT University and Linda Harland for pointing out the mistakes and providing feedback.

Thanks to Frank Ngari for pointing out four mistakes in the solutions.
Matrices Q3a should be ( 0.4 0.4 0.2 0.2) times column matrix ( 300 200 200 3000) and the answer is 320.
Geometry and measurement Q2a should be Tokyo is 2 hours behind hence the time is 8.00 pm on Wednesday.
Q2c radius should be 6400cos 43 = 4681km.
Q3b should be length of major arc hence the perimeter is 438 and not 266.
