- 1Histograms2 marks
On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
- 2Bounds3 marks
x = 197 and y = 95, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
- 3Rearranging Harder Formulae3 marks
Make x the subject of 4x + 2 = y(x + 2).
- 4Velocity Time Graphs3 marks
A tram runs at 9 m/s for 10 s, then slows steadily to rest over 10 s. Work out its average speed for the whole journey, to 2 decimal places.
- 5Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (5, 12) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 169. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
