Every sheet in July 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 July 1967Use the iteration x(n+1) = cube root of (11x(n) + 4) with x(0) = 1. Work out x(1) to 3 decimal places.
  2. 2nd July 1967A train slows steadily from 12 m/s to rest in 4 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  3. 3rd July 1967The point (12, 16) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 400. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  4. 4th July 1967A bag holds 7 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 10/21. Work out r.
  5. 5th July 1967A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 2, one 5 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  6. 6th July 1967Simplify sqrt(45) + sqrt(80), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  7. 7th July 1967Work out the nth term of the quadratic sequence 8, 18, 34, 56, ...
  8. 8th July 1967y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 64. Work out y when x = 4.
  9. 9th July 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 July 1967The probability of winning a game is 1/2. A player expects 48 wins. How many games did they play?
