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

  1. 1st February 1964In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = a + 6b and vector RS = 2a + 12b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  2. 2nd February 1964A bag holds 5 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 5/12. Work out n.
  3. 3rd February 1964A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 5 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  4. 4th February 1964Expand and simplify (5 + sqrt(5))(5 - sqrt(5)).
  5. 5th February 1964Solve 6x^2 + 11x + 3 = 0.
  6. 6th February 1964y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 16. Work out y when x = 4.
  7. 7th February 1964A cuboid measures 9 cm by 4 cm by 13 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  8. 8th February 1964A bag holds 5 red and 8 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  9. 9th February 1964On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 8-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  10. 10th February 1964A block has mass 480 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 6 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  11. 11th February 1964f(x) = 7x - 6. Work out the inverse function f^-1(x).
  12. 12th February 1964y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 4, y = 192. Work out y when x = 2.

  14. 14th February 1964A bag holds 6 red, 5 blue and 6 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  15. 15th February 1964A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 5 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
  16. 16th February 1964x = 80 and y = 48, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  17. 17th February 1964Solve x^2 + y^2 = 289 and y = x - 7 simultaneously.
  18. 18th February 1964y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 25, y = 40. Work out y when x = 49.
  19. 19th February 1964The point (8, 15) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 289. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  20. 20th February 1964A bag holds 5 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 3/10. Work out r.
