Every sheet in June 1992

The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st June 1992f(x) = 3x - 5 and g(x) = 5x + 4. Work out fg(6).
  2. 2nd June 1992y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 16. Work out y when x = 2.
  3. 3rd June 1992In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 3a - 5b and vector RS = 6a - 10b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  4. 4th June 1992A bag holds 8 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 8/13. Work out n.
  5. 5th June 1992On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 12-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  6. 6th June 1992A car covers 250 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 7 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  7. 7th June 1992The curve y = sin x° is drawn for 0 <= x <= 360. Write down the value of y when x = 180.
  8. 8th June 1992y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 40. Work out y when x = 5.
  9. 9th June 1992A cuboid measures 7 cm by 4 cm by 7 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  10. 10th June 1992A bag holds 4 red and 6 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  11. 11th June 1992A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 5 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
  12. 12th June 1992Rationalise the denominator of 15/sqrt(5), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  13. 13th June 1992A quadratic sequence starts 12, 24, 42, 66. Work out the second difference, and the coefficient of n^2.
  14. 14th June 1992y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 49, y = 63. Work out y when x = 9.

  16. 16th June 1992A bag holds 3 red, 3 blue and 6 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  17. 17th June 1992On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 15-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  18. 18th June 1992Simplify sqrt(20) + sqrt(245), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  19. 19th June 1992Solve x^2 - 10x + 16 > 0.
