  2. 2
    Surds3 marks

    Rationalise the denominator of 12/sqrt(3), giving your answer in its simplest form.

  3. 3
    Iteration3 marks

    Use the iteration x(n+1) = cube root of (7x(n) + 2) with x(0) = 2. Work out x(1) to 3 decimal places.

  4. 4
    Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks

    y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 72. Work out the positive value of x when y = 512.

  5. 5
    Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks

    The point (12, 16) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 400. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
