- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 25 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
- 2Surds3 marks
Expand and simplify (4 + sqrt(11))(4 - sqrt(11)).
- 3Trigonometric and Exponential Graphs2 marks
The curve y = sin x° is drawn for 0 <= x <= 360. Write down the value of y when x = 270.
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 4, y = 32. Work out the positive value of x when y = 72.
- 5Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (5, 12) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 169. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
