Every sheet in April 1966

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

  1. 1st April 1966Work out the coordinates of the turning point of y = x^2 - 6x - 6.
  2. 2nd April 1966A train slows steadily from 38 m/s to rest in 8 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  3. 3rd April 1966A cuboid measures 8 cm by 13 cm by 8 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  4. 4th April 1966A bag holds 5 red, 3 blue and 2 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  5. 5th April 1966A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 25 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  6. 6th April 1966A rectangle is 19 cm by 22 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  7. 7th April 1966Simplify (x^2 - x - 6)/(x + 2).
  8. 8th April 1966y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 32. Work out y when x = 4.
  9. 9th April 1966The 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.
  10. 10th April 1966A bag holds 12 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/11. Work out r.
  11. 11th April 1966On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 30-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  12. 12th April 1966Expand and simplify (3 + sqrt(2))(3 - sqrt(2)).
  13. 13th April 1966In an algebraic proof, how would you write a multiple of 4 in terms of an integer n?
  14. 14th April 1966y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 32. Work out y when x = 3.
  15. 15th April 1966In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that a radius is drawn to the midpoint of a chord. State the reason being quoted.
  16. 16th April 1966The probability of winning a game is 4/5. A player expects 40 wins. How many games did they play?
  17. 17th April 1966A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 10 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  18. 18th April 1966A block has mass 900 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.
  19. 19th April 1966Make x the subject of 7x + 2 = y(x + 2).
  20. 20th April 1966y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 25, y = 40. Work out y when x = 9.
  21. 21st April 1966In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = a - 4b and vector RS = 3a - 12b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  22. 22nd April 1966A bag holds 7 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 1/2. Work out n.
  23. 23rd April 1966On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 40-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  24. 24th April 1966x = 166 and y = 77, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  25. 25th April 1966Write 2/(x + 2) + 6/(x - 5) as a single fraction.
  26. 26th April 1966A train slows steadily from 38 m/s to rest in 10 seconds. Work out its deceleration.

  29. 29th April 1966A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 5 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  30. 30th April 1966A car covers 560 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 3 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
