- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 25 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
- 2Bounds3 marks
x = 90 and y = 45, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
- 3Iteration3 marks
Use the iteration x(n+1) = cube root of (8x(n) + 7) with x(0) = 1. Work out x(1) to 3 decimal places.
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 4, y = 112. Work out the positive value of x when y = 448.
- 5Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (6, 8) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 100. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
