- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 10 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
- 2Bounds3 marks
A car covers 340 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 3 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
- 3Proof2 marks
In an algebraic proof, how would you write the number two more than an even number in terms of an integer n?
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 45. Work out the positive value of x when y = 180.
- 5Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The 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.
