- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 2, one 25 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
- 2Surds3 marks
Simplify sqrt(80) + sqrt(45), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
- 3Proof2 marks
In an algebraic proof, how would you write two consecutive odd numbers in terms of an integer n?
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 6, y = 288. Work out the positive value of x when y = 72.
- 5Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (3, 4) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
