- 1Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (3, 4) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
- 2Conditional Probability3 marks
A bag holds 3 red, 5 blue and 5 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
- 3Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 2, one 25 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
- 4Bounds3 marks
A block has mass 760 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 3 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
- 5Inverse and Composite Functions3 marks
f(x) = 2x + 9. Work out the inverse function f^-1(x).
