1
Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 25 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
2
Bounds3 marks
A car covers 800 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 5 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
3
Rearranging Harder Formulae3 marks
Make x the subject of 6x + 2 = y(x + 2).
4
Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 36. Work out the positive value of x when y = 36.
5
Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The 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.
