- 1Histograms2 marks
On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 12-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
- 2Bounds3 marks
A block has mass 490 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 16 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
- 3Algebraic Fractions3 marks
Write 7/(x - 5) + 4/(x - 4) as a single fraction.
- 4Velocity Time Graphs3 marks
A cyclist speeds up steadily from 4 m/s to 18 m/s over 10 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 (6, 8) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 100. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
