- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 5 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
- 2Surds3 marks
Expand and simplify (3 + sqrt(10))(3 - sqrt(10)).
- 3Proof2 marks
In an algebraic proof, how would you write a multiple of 9 in terms of an integer n?
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 72. Work out the positive value of x when y = 392.
- 5Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (3, 4) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
