Every sheet in November 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 November 1969In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 4a - 4b and vector RS = 20a - 20b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  2. 2nd November 1969A bag holds 8 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 4/7. Work out n.
  3. 3rd November 1969A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 5 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  4. 4th November 1969Expand and simplify (7 + sqrt(7))(7 - sqrt(7)).
  5. 5th November 1969Solve x^2 - 16 > 0.
  6. 6th November 1969y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 16, y = 28. Work out y when x = 36.
  7. 7th November 1969A cuboid measures 14 cm by 11 cm by 13 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  8. 8th November 1969A bag holds 3 red and 7 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  9. 9th November 1969On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  10. 10th November 1969A block has mass 310 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 18 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  11. 11th November 1969Write x^2 - 10x - 7 in the form (x + a)^2 + b.
  12. 12th November 1969A train slows steadily from 37 m/s to rest in 5 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  13. 13th November 1969A cuboid measures 7 cm by 12 cm by 13 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  14. 14th November 1969A bag holds 3 red, 3 blue and 2 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  15. 15th November 1969A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 5 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  16. 16th November 1969x = 35 and y = 11, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  17. 17th November 1969Work out the coordinates of the turning point of y = x^2 - 14x - 9.
  18. 18th November 1969y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 32. Work out y when x = 4.
  19. 19th November 1969The point (10, 24) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 676. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  20. 20th November 1969A bag holds 10 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/3. Work out r.
  21. 21st November 1969On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 12-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  22. 22nd November 1969A car covers 750 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 6 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  23. 23rd November 1969Simplify (x^2 - 10x + 24)/(x - 4).
