Every sheet in April 1976

The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st April 1976Simplify sqrt(12) + sqrt(108), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  2. 2nd April 1976A quadratic sequence starts 6, 10, 18, 30. Work out the second difference, and the coefficient of n^2.
  3. 3rd April 1976y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 144. Work out y when x = 6.
  4. 4th April 1976A cuboid measures 5 cm by 15 cm by 5 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  5. 5th April 1976A bag holds 5 red and 3 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  6. 6th April 1976On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 40-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  7. 7th April 1976A rectangle is 28 cm by 14 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  8. 8th April 1976Solve x^2 - 8x + 7 < 0.
  9. 9th April 1976y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 4, y = 384. Work out y when x = 3.
  10. 10th April 1976A cuboid measures 13 cm by 9 cm by 13 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  11. 11th April 1976A bag holds 4 red, 4 blue and 2 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  12. 12th April 1976A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2, one 20 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  13. 13th April 1976Expand and simplify (6 + sqrt(11))(6 - sqrt(11)).
  14. 14th April 1976Write x^2 + 14x + 8 in the form (x + a)^2 + b.
  15. 15th April 1976y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 25, y = 35. Work out y when x = 81.

  23. 23rd April 1976The probability of winning a game is 1/5. A player expects 6 wins. How many games did they play?
  24. 24th April 1976A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 5 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
  25. 25th April 1976x = 75 and y = 49, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
