Every sheet in November 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 November 1964Write x^2 + 14x - 12 in the form (x + a)^2 + b.
  2. 2nd November 1964y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 16. Work out y when x = 4.
  3. 3rd November 1964A cuboid measures 4 cm by 11 cm by 8 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  4. 4th November 1964A bag holds 9 red and 3 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  5. 5th November 1964A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 10 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  6. 6th November 1964Rationalise the denominator of 40/sqrt(5), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  7. 7th November 1964Work out the coordinates of the turning point of y = x^2 - 8x - 2.
  8. 8th November 1964y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 25, y = 25. Work out y when x = 9.
  9. 9th November 1964A cuboid measures 11 cm by 13 cm by 4 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  10. 10th November 1964A bag holds 7 red, 4 blue and 6 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  11. 11th November 1964On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  12. 12th November 1964Simplify sqrt(8) + sqrt(2), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  13. 13th November 1964Simplify (x^2 + 12x + 32)/(x + 8).
  14. 14th November 1964A train slows steadily from 17 m/s to rest in 4 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  15. 15th November 1964The point (10, 24) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 676. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  16. 16th November 1964A bag holds 5 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/10. Work out r.
  17. 17th November 1964A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 10 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  18. 18th November 1964A rectangle is 6 cm by 14 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  19. 19th November 1964In an algebraic proof, how would you write the number two more than an even number in terms of an integer n?
  20. 20th November 1964y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 36. Work out y when x = 3.
  21. 21st November 1964In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that the exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is being found. State the reason being quoted.
  22. 22nd November 1964The probability of winning a game is 1/2. A player expects 10 wins. How many games did they play?
  23. 23rd November 1964On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 10-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  24. 24th November 1964Expand and simplify (7 + sqrt(7))(7 - sqrt(7)).
  25. 25th November 1964Make x the subject of 3x + 6 = y(x + 6).
