- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2, one 25 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
- 2Bounds3 marks
x = 178 and y = 57, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
- 3Factorising Harder Quadratics3 marks
Solve 4x^2 + 25x + 25 = 0.
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 175. Work out the positive value of x when y = 28.
- 5Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (10, 24) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 676. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
