- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 25 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
- 2Surds3 marks
Simplify sqrt(80) + sqrt(5), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
- 3Completing the Square3 marks
Write x^2 - 8x - 12 in the form (x + a)^2 + b.
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 54. Work out the positive value of x when y = 150.
- 5Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (9, 40) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 1681. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
