- 1Histograms2 marks
On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
- 2Surds3 marks
Rationalise the denominator of 20/sqrt(2), giving your answer in its simplest form.
- 3Iteration3 marks
Use the iteration x(n+1) = cube root of (6x(n) + 1) with x(0) = 4. Work out x(1) to 3 decimal places.
- 4Velocity Time Graphs3 marks
A cyclist speeds up steadily from 8 m/s to 26 m/s over 6 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 (20, 21) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 841. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
