- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2, one 20 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
- 2Bounds3 marks
x = 72 and y = 59, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
- 3Proof2 marks
In an algebraic proof, how would you write three consecutive even numbers in terms of an integer n?
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 12. Work out the positive value of x when y = 243.
- 5Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (6, 8) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 100. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
