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 1984A rectangle is 6 cm by 19 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  2. 2nd February 1984Solve x^2 + 4x + 3 < 0.
  3. 3rd February 1984y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 32. Work out y when x = 3.
  4. 4th February 1984The point (7, 24) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 625. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  5. 5th February 1984A bag holds 11 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 28/55. Work out r.
  6. 6th February 1984A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 10 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
  7. 7th February 1984Expand and simplify (7 + sqrt(2))(7 - sqrt(2)).
  8. 8th February 1984Write x^2 - 14x - 10 in the form (x + a)^2 + b.
  9. 9th February 1984y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 9, y = 6. Work out y when x = 25.
  10. 10th February 1984In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that two angles at the circumference stand on the same arc. State the reason being quoted.
  11. 11th February 1984The probability of winning a game is 5/8. A player expects 30 wins. How many games did they play?
  12. 12th February 1984On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 12-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  13. 13th February 1984A block has mass 860 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 3 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  14. 14th February 1984Work out the coordinates of the turning point of y = x^2 - 14x + 8.

  17. 17th February 1984A bag holds 2 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 2/9. Work out n.
  18. 18th February 1984A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 2, one 20 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
  19. 19th February 1984x = 79 and y = 41, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  20. 20th February 1984Simplify (x^2 - 8x + 12)/(x - 6).

  23. 23rd February 1984A bag holds 3 red and 10 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  24. 24th February 1984On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  25. 25th February 1984A car covers 380 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 7 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
