- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 5 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
- 2Surds3 marks
Simplify sqrt(20) + sqrt(245), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
- 3Quadratic Simultaneous Equations3 marks
Solve x^2 + y^2 = 289 and y = x + 7 simultaneously.
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 63. Work out the positive value of x when y = 343.
- 5Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
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.
