Every sheet in June 1961

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

  1. 1st June 1961Simplify sqrt(20) + sqrt(5), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  2. 2nd June 1961f(x) = 5x + 6 and g(x) = 4x - 4. Work out fg(0).
