  1. 1
    Histograms3 marks

    A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 2, one 20 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?

  2. 2
    Surds3 marks

    Simplify sqrt(8) + sqrt(2), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).

  3. 3
    Trigonometric and Exponential Graphs2 marks

  4. 4
    Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks

    y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 12. Work out the positive value of x when y = 147.

  5. 5
    Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks

    The point (12, 16) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 400. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
