Every sheet in September 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 September 1969A train slows steadily from 17 m/s to rest in 5 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  2. 2nd September 1969In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 3a + 4b and vector RS = 6a + 8b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  3. 3rd September 1969A bag holds 8 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 2/3. Work out n.
  4. 4th September 1969A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 2, one 20 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  5. 5th September 1969Rationalise the denominator of 14/sqrt(2), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  6. 6th September 1969Solve 4x^2 + 8x + 3 = 0.
  7. 7th September 1969y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 48. Work out y when x = 4.
  8. 8th September 1969A cuboid measures 7 cm by 9 cm by 7 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  9. 9th September 1969A bag holds 3 red and 8 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  10. 10th September 1969On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  11. 11th September 1969Simplify sqrt(75) + sqrt(108), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  12. 12th September 1969f(x) = 7x - 9. Work out the inverse function f^-1(x).
  13. 13th September 1969y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 3, y = 135. Work out y when x = 2.

  15. 15th September 1969A bag holds 4 red, 6 blue and 6 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  16. 16th September 1969A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 2, one 10 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
  17. 17th September 1969A rectangle is 11 cm by 6 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  18. 18th September 1969Solve x^2 + y^2 = 169 and y = x + 7 simultaneously.
  19. 19th September 1969y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 49, y = 14. Work out y when x = 16.
