Every sheet in November 1971

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 1971Work out the coordinates of the turning point of y = x^2 + 2x - 2.
  2. 2nd November 1971A train slows steadily from 27 m/s to rest in 5 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  3. 3rd November 1971A cuboid measures 8 cm by 13 cm by 4 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  4. 4th November 1971A bag holds 5 red, 3 blue and 2 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  5. 5th November 1971A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 20 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
  6. 6th November 1971A car covers 420 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 2 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  7. 7th November 1971Simplify (x^2 + 3x - 40)/(x + 8).
  8. 8th November 1971y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 25. Work out y when x = 5.
  9. 9th November 1971The 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.
  10. 10th November 1971A bag holds 5 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/10. Work out r.
  11. 11th November 1971On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 12-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  12. 12th November 1971Rationalise the denominator of 88/sqrt(11), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  13. 13th November 1971In an algebraic proof, how would you write a number that leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 4 in terms of an integer n?
  14. 14th November 1971y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 48. Work out y when x = 5.
  15. 15th November 1971In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that the exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is being found. State the reason being quoted.
  16. 16th November 1971The probability of winning a game is 1/8. A player expects 4 wins. How many games did they play?
  17. 17th November 1971A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 10 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
  18. 18th November 1971Simplify sqrt(8) + sqrt(72), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  19. 19th November 1971Make x the subject of 8x + 6 = y(x + 6).
  20. 20th November 1971y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 49, y = 63. Work out y when x = 25.
  21. 21st November 1971In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = a + b and vector RS = 3a + 3b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  22. 22nd November 1971A bag holds 8 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 8/11. Work out n.
  23. 23rd November 1971On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 15-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  24. 24th November 1971A rectangle is 11 cm by 18 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  25. 25th November 1971Write 3/(x - 5) + 4/(x + 1) as a single fraction.
  26. 26th November 1971A train slows steadily from 32 m/s to rest in 4 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
