- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 25 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
- 2Surds3 marks
Simplify sqrt(32) + sqrt(32), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
- 3Quadratic Inequalities3 marks
Solve x^2 - 3x - 10 > 0.
- 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 = 288.
- 5Perpendicular 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.
