Every sheet in December 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 December 1969In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 2a + 6b and vector RS = 8a + 24b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  2. 2nd December 1969A bag holds 8 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 8/13. Work out n.
  3. 3rd December 1969On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 10-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  4. 4th December 1969Simplify sqrt(8) + sqrt(50), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  5. 5th December 1969Make x the subject of 3x + 4 = y(x + 4).
  6. 6th December 1969A train slows steadily from 31 m/s to rest in 10 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  7. 7th December 1969A cuboid measures 4 cm by 10 cm by 6 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  8. 8th December 1969A bag holds 6 red and 6 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  9. 9th December 1969A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 25 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  10. 10th December 1969A rectangle is 22 cm by 25 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  11. 11th December 1969Write 3/(x - 4) + 7/(x - 2) as a single fraction.
  12. 12th December 1969y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 12. Work out y when x = 2.
  13. 13th December 1969A cuboid measures 9 cm by 14 cm by 4 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  14. 14th December 1969A bag holds 5 red, 7 blue and 4 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  15. 15th December 1969On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 30-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  16. 16th December 1969Expand and simplify (2 + sqrt(5))(2 - sqrt(5)).
  17. 17th December 1969Solve 10x^2 - x - 3 = 0.
  18. 18th December 1969y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 3, y = 162. Work out y when x = 4.
  19. 19th December 1969The point (7, 24) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 625. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  20. 20th December 1969A bag holds 7 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/7. Work out r.
  21. 21st December 1969A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2, one 5 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  22. 22nd December 1969A block has mass 730 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 16 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  23. 23rd December 1969f(x) = 4x + 4. Work out the inverse function f^-1(x).
  24. 24th December 1969y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 9, y = 9. Work out y when x = 25.
