  1. 1
    Histograms2 marks

    On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 8-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?

  2. 2
    Bounds3 marks

    x = 192 and y = 122, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.

  3. 3
    Trigonometric and Exponential Graphs2 marks

    The curve y = sin x° is drawn for 0 <= x <= 360. Write down the value of y when x = 180.

    Velocity Time Graphs3 marks

    A cyclist speeds up steadily from 3 m/s to 15 m/s over 6 seconds. Use the area under the velocity-time graph to find the distance travelled.

  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.
