- 1Histograms2 marks
On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 10-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
- 2Surds3 marks
Expand and simplify (4 + sqrt(10))(4 - sqrt(10)).
- 3Trigonometric and Exponential Graphs2 marks

- 4Velocity Time Graphs3 marks
A cyclist speeds up steadily from 10 m/s to 25 m/s over 12 seconds. Use the area under the velocity-time graph to find the distance travelled.

The point (5, 12) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 169. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
