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

  1. 1st March 1984A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 25 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
  2. 2nd March 1984Rationalise the denominator of 54/sqrt(6), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  3. 3rd March 1984Make x the subject of 6x + 4 = y(x + 4).
  4. 4th March 1984y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 49, y = 28. Work out y when x = 16.
  5. 5th March 1984The 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.
  6. 6th March 1984A bag holds 10 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 2/9. Work out r.
  7. 7th March 1984On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  8. 8th March 1984Simplify sqrt(20) + sqrt(45), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
