- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 5 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
- 2Bounds3 marks
x = 35 and y = 7, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
- 3Rearranging Harder Formulae3 marks
Make x the subject of 2x + 6 = y(x + 6).
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 72. Work out the positive value of x when y = 32.
- 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.
