- 1Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (12, 16) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 400. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
- 2Conditional Probability3 marks
A bag holds 6 red, 4 blue and 3 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 10 units wide with frequency density 2, one 20 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
- 4Bounds3 marks
A car covers 780 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 4 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
- 5Transforming Graphs y=f(x)3 marks
The point (2, -1) lies on y = f(x). Write down its image on y = f(x + 2).
