- 1Histograms2 marks
On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 15-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
- 2Bounds3 marks
A car covers 150 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 5 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
- 3Completing the Square3 marks
Write x^2 + 16x - 2 in the form (x + a)^2 + b.
- 4Velocity Time Graphs3 marks
A cyclist speeds up steadily from 8 m/s to 26 m/s over 10 seconds. Use the area under the velocity-time graph to find the distance travelled.
- 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.
