- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 10 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
- 2Surds3 marks
Simplify sqrt(32) + sqrt(2), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
- 3Quadratic Simultaneous Equations3 marks
Solve x^2 + y^2 = 676 and y = x + 14 simultaneously.
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 36. Work out the positive value of x when y = 576.
- 5Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (5, 12) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 169. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
