  1. 1
    Histograms2 marks

    On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 15-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?

  2. 2
    Surds3 marks

    Simplify sqrt(72) + sqrt(2), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).

  3. 3
    Iteration3 marks

    Use the iteration x(n+1) = cube root of (6x(n) + 4) with x(0) = 1. Work out x(1) to 3 decimal places.

    Velocity Time Graphs3 marks

    A cyclist speeds up steadily from 7 m/s to 14 m/s over 8 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
