- 1Perpendicular 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.
- 2Conditional Probability3 marks
A bag holds 3 red, 6 blue and 6 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
- 3Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 20 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
- 4Bounds3 marks
A block has mass 760 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 7 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
- 5Inverse and Composite Functions3 marks
f(x) = 3x + 4 and g(x) = 6x - 9. Work out fg(-3).
