- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 5 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
- 2Bounds3 marks
x = 167 and y = 24, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
- 3Quadratic Inequalities3 marks
Solve x^2 + 4x - 5 > 0.
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 4, y = 96. Work out the positive value of x when y = 96.
- 5Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (5, 12) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 169. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
