Every sheet in March 1964

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

  1. 1st March 1964y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 64. Work out y when x = 4.
  2. 2nd March 1964In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 5a - 5b and vector RS = 10a - 10b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  3. 3rd March 1964A bag holds 6 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 3/5. Work out n.
  4. 4th March 1964On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 8-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  5. 5th March 1964Simplify sqrt(18) + sqrt(2), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  6. 6th March 1964The point (2, 1) lies on y = f(x). Write down its image on y = -f(x).
