Every sheet in November 1955

The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st November 1955f(x) = 3x + 3 and g(x) = 6x + 8. Work out fg(0).
  2. 2nd November 1955y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 24. Work out y when x = 3.
  3. 3rd November 1955The 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.
  4. 4th November 1955A bag holds 6 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/15. Work out r.
