  1. 1
    Histograms2 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?

  2. 2
    Bounds3 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.

  3. 3
    Quadratic Simultaneous Equations3 marks

    Solve x^2 + y^2 = 100 and y = x - 2 simultaneously.

  4. 4
    Velocity 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.

  5. 5
    Perpendicular 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.
