Every sheet in June 1978

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

  1. 1st June 1978A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 5 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  2. 2nd June 1978Rationalise the denominator of 24/sqrt(6), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  3. 3rd June 1978The point (-1, -2) lies on y = f(x). Write down its image on y = f(x) + 2.
  4. 4th June 1978y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 50. Work out y when x = 5.
  5. 5th June 1978The point (9, 40) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 1681. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  6. 6th June 1978A bag holds 6 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 2/5. Work out r.
  7. 7th June 1978On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  8. 8th June 1978Simplify sqrt(27) + sqrt(147), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  9. 9th June 1978Prove that the sum of 4 consecutive integers is always a multiple of 2. State the simplified sum you would use.
  10. 10th June 1978y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 40. Work out y when x = 4.
  11. 11th June 1978In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that OA and OB are both radii of the circle, so triangle OAB is isosceles. State the reason being quoted.
  12. 12th June 1978The probability of winning a game is 1/4. A player expects 7 wins. How many games did they play?
  13. 13th June 1978A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 20 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  14. 14th June 1978A rectangle is 17 cm by 25 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  15. 15th June 1978f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = 4x + 4. Work out fg(-3).
  16. 16th June 1978y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 36, y = 30. Work out y when x = 64.
  17. 17th June 1978In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = a - 5b and vector RS = 3a - 15b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  18. 18th June 1978A bag holds 7 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 7/10. Work out n.
  19. 19th June 1978On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  20. 20th June 1978Expand and simplify (9 + sqrt(10))(9 - sqrt(10)).
  21. 21st June 1978The curve y = sin x° is drawn for 0 <= x <= 360. Write down the value of y when x = 360.
  22. 22nd June 1978A train slows steadily from 16 m/s to rest in 8 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  23. 23rd June 1978A cuboid measures 15 cm by 11 cm by 14 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  24. 24th June 1978A bag holds 6 red and 8 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  25. 25th June 1978A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 5 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  26. 26th June 1978A block has mass 410 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 18 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  27. 27th June 1978A quadratic sequence starts -2, -3, -2, 1. Work out the second difference, and the coefficient of n^2.
  28. 28th June 1978y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 25. Work out y when x = 5.
  29. 29th June 1978A cuboid measures 5 cm by 7 cm by 10 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  30. 30th June 1978A bag holds 6 red, 6 blue and 6 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
