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

  1. 1st February 1982A train slows steadily from 37 m/s to rest in 4 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  2. 2nd February 1982A cuboid measures 13 cm by 6 cm by 4 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  3. 3rd February 1982A bag holds 4 red and 4 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  4. 4th February 1982A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 5 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
  5. 5th February 1982Rationalise the denominator of 18/sqrt(3), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  6. 6th February 1982The curve y = sin x° is drawn for 0 <= x <= 360. Write down the value of y when x = 360.
  7. 7th February 1982y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 36. Work out y when x = 3.
  8. 8th February 1982A cuboid measures 6 cm by 7 cm by 14 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  9. 9th February 1982A bag holds 6 red, 4 blue and 6 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  10. 10th February 1982On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 8-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  11. 11th February 1982Simplify sqrt(48) + sqrt(27), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  12. 12th February 1982A quadratic sequence starts 16, 35, 64, 103. Work out the second difference, and the coefficient of n^2.
  13. 13th February 1982y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 4, y = 384. Work out y when x = 3.
  14. 14th February 1982The point (20, 21) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 841. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  15. 15th February 1982A bag holds 6 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/5. Work out r.
  16. 16th February 1982A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 20 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  17. 17th February 1982A rectangle is 8 cm by 19 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  18. 18th February 1982Solve x^2 + 9x + 18 > 0.
  19. 19th February 1982y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 4, y = 18. Work out y when x = 16.
  20. 20th February 1982In 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.
  21. 21st February 1982The probability of winning a game is 1/4. A player expects 5 wins. How many games did they play?
  22. 22nd February 1982On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 10-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  23. 23rd February 1982Expand and simplify (3 + sqrt(7))(3 - sqrt(7)).
  24. 24th February 1982Write x^2 + 6x + 3 in the form (x + a)^2 + b.
  25. 25th February 1982A train slows steadily from 22 m/s to rest in 8 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  26. 26th February 1982In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 6a + 6b and vector RS = 24a + 24b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  27. 27th February 1982A bag holds 6 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 3/5. Work out n.
  28. 28th February 1982A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 10 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
