- 1Histograms2 marks
On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 16-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
- 2Bounds3 marks
A car covers 360 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 6 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
- 3Quadratic Simultaneous Equations3 marks
Solve x^2 + y^2 = 100 and y = x - 2 simultaneously.
- 4Velocity Time Graphs3 marks
A cyclist speeds up steadily from 9 m/s to 25 m/s over 4 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 (10, 24) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 676. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
