2
Bounds3 marks
x = 147 and y = 80, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
3
Quadratic Simultaneous Equations3 marks
Solve x^2 + y^2 = 625 and y = x - 17 simultaneously.

5
Perpendicular 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.
