Every sheet in February 1967

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 1967Work out the coordinates of the turning point of y = x^2 - 6x + 7.
  2. 2nd February 1967y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 9, y = 12. Work out y when x = 4.
  3. 3rd February 1967The 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.
  4. 4th February 1967A bag holds 6 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/15. Work out r.
  5. 5th February 1967On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 16-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  6. 6th February 1967A block has mass 860 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 17 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  7. 7th February 1967Simplify (x^2 + 2x - 3)/(x + 3).
  8. 8th February 1967A train slows steadily from 26 m/s to rest in 10 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  9. 9th February 1967In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that the three angles of triangle OAB are being summed. State the reason being quoted.
  10. 10th February 1967The probability of winning a game is 3/8. A player expects 24 wins. How many games did they play?
  11. 11th February 1967A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 20 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
  12. 12th February 1967x = 179 and y = 26, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  13. 13th February 1967In an algebraic proof, how would you write a number that leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 7 in terms of an integer n?
  14. 14th February 1967y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 108. Work out y when x = 6.
  15. 15th February 1967In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 3a + 2b and vector RS = 9a + 6b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  16. 16th February 1967A bag holds 7 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 7/12. Work out n.
  17. 17th February 1967On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  18. 18th February 1967A car covers 340 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 9 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  19. 19th February 1967Make x the subject of 5x + 2 = y(x + 2).
  20. 20th February 1967y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 40. Work out y when x = 3.

  22. 22nd February 1967A bag holds 6 red and 3 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  23. 23rd February 1967A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 2, one 25 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  24. 24th February 1967Rationalise the denominator of 54/sqrt(6), giving your answer in its simplest form.
