Every sheet in August 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 August 1967y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 50. Work out y when x = 5.
  2. 2nd August 1967The point (9, 12) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 225. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  3. 3rd August 1967A bag holds 7 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/7. Work out r.
  4. 4th August 1967On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 30-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  5. 5th August 1967A car covers 850 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 7 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  6. 6th August 1967A quadratic sequence starts 13, 22, 33, 46. Work out the second difference, and the coefficient of n^2.
  7. 7th August 1967y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 3, y = 162. Work out y when x = 5.
  8. 8th August 1967In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that two tangents are drawn to a circle from the same external point. State the reason being quoted.
  9. 9th August 1967The probability of winning a game is 2/5. A player expects 20 wins. How many games did they play?
  10. 10th August 1967A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 20 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
  11. 11th August 1967Rationalise the denominator of 14/sqrt(2), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  12. 12th August 1967Solve x^2 + 6x + 8 < 0.

  14. 14th August 1967In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 2a + 5b and vector RS = 8a + 20b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  15. 15th August 1967A bag holds 5 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 5/13. Work out n.
  16. 16th August 1967On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 15-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  17. 17th August 1967Simplify sqrt(18) + sqrt(72), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  18. 18th August 1967Write x^2 + 6x + 14 in the form (x + a)^2 + b.

  21. 21st August 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?
  22. 22nd August 1967A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 20 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  23. 23rd August 1967A rectangle is 21 cm by 25 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
