- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 5 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
- 2Bounds3 marks
A block has mass 360 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 24 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
- 3Iteration3 marks
Use the iteration x(n+1) = cube root of (2x(n) + 5) with x(0) = 1. Work out x(1) to 3 decimal places.
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 20. Work out the positive value of x when y = 80.
- 5Proof of the Circle Theorems2 marks
In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that the angle in a semicircle is being proved. State the reason being quoted.
