- 1Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (9, 40) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 1681. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
- 2Conditional Probability3 marks
A bag holds 4 red, 3 blue and 3 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
- 3Histograms2 marks
On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 12-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
- 4Bounds3 marks
A block has mass 770 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 15 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
- 5Transforming Graphs y=f(x)3 marks
The point (-2, 2) lies on y = f(x). Write down its image on y = f(x - 6).
