Every sheet in July 1969

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 1969Expand and simplify (2 + sqrt(7))(2 - sqrt(7)).
  2. 2nd July 1969Prove that the sum of 6 consecutive integers is always a multiple of 3. State the simplified sum you would use.
  3. 3rd July 1969y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 48. Work out y when x = 4.
  4. 4th July 1969In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = a + 2b and vector RS = 3a + 6b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  5. 5th July 1969A bag holds 7 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 7/13. Work out n.
