- 1Histograms3 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?
- 2Surds3 marks
Simplify sqrt(8) + sqrt(2), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
- 3Trigonometric and Exponential Graphs2 marks
The curve y = sin x° is drawn for 0 <= x <= 360. Write down the value of y when x = 180.
- 4Direct 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.
- 5Perpendicular 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.
