Every sheet in February 1968

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 1968Simplify sqrt(8) + sqrt(72), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  2. 2nd February 1968The point (-6, 5) lies on y = f(x). Write down its image on y = f(x + 1).
