This document contains a 2010 Additional Mathematics exam paper from the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM). It consists of 25 multiple choice and short answer questions covering topics like:
- Relations and functions
- Quadratic equations
- Geometric and arithmetic progressions
- Trigonometry
- Probability and statistics
The questions require students to apply concepts like domain and range, inverse functions, maximum/minimum values, and normal distributions to solve problems involving graphs, equations, and word problems.
