- 1Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (5, 12) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 169. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
- 2Conditional Probability3 marks
A bag holds 5 red, 6 blue and 4 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
- 3Histograms2 marks
On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 40-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
- 4Bounds3 marks
A block has mass 510 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 15 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
- 5Inverse and Composite Functions3 marks
f(x) = 3x - 9. Work out the inverse function f^-1(x).
