- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2, one 25 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
- 2Bounds3 marks
A car covers 810 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 4 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
- 3Algebraic Fractions3 marks
Simplify (x^2 - 2x - 24)/(x + 4).
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 50. Work out the positive value of x when y = 8.
- 5Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (12, 16) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 400. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
