Daily Practice - Higher Plus
Grades 8-9 - exam-stretch algebra, geometry and reasoning.
- 1Rearranging Harder Formulae3 marks
Make x the subject of 7x + 6 = y(x + 6).
- 2Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 6, y = 180. Work out the positive value of x when y = 20.
- 3Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (8, 15) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 289. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
- 4Conditional Probability3 marks
A bag holds 5 red, 6 blue and 5 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
- 5Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 5 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
