  1. 1
    Rearranging Harder Formulae3 marks

    Make x the subject of 7x + 6 = y(x + 6).

  2. 2
    Direct 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.

  3. 3
    Perpendicular 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.

  4. 4
    Conditional 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?

  5. 5
    Histograms3 marks
