Every sheet in June 2015
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.
- 1st June 2015Simplify (x^2 - 5x - 14)/(x - 7).
- 2nd June 2015y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 4, y = 16. Work out y when x = 2.
- 3rd June 2015In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 4a - b and vector RS = 20a - 5b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
- 4th June 2015A bag holds 4 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 1/3. Work out n.
- 5th June 2015On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 15-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
- 6th June 2015A car covers 480 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 8 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
- 7th June 2015In an algebraic proof, how would you write three consecutive integers in terms of an integer n?
- 8th June 2015y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 3, y = 135. Work out y when x = 2.
- 9th June 2015A cuboid measures 8 cm by 9 cm by 3 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
- 10th June 2015A bag holds 3 red and 9 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
- 11th June 2015A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 5 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
- 12th June 2015Rationalise the denominator of 18/sqrt(3), giving your answer in its simplest form.
- 13th June 2015Make x the subject of 3x + 6 = y(x + 6).
- 14th June 2015y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 16, y = 36. Work out y when x = 25.
- 15th June 2015A cuboid measures 6 cm by 5 cm by 11 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
- 16th June 2015A bag holds 7 red, 5 blue and 3 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
- 17th June 2015On 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?
- 18th June 2015Simplify sqrt(80) + sqrt(80), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
- 19th June 2015Write 2/(x + 4) + 6/(x + 6) as a single fraction.
- 20th June 2015A train slows steadily from 35 m/s to rest in 4 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
- 21st June 2015The 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.
- 22nd June 2015A bag holds 10 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 2/15. Work out r.
- 23rd June 2015A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2, one 25 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
- 24th June 2015A rectangle is 6 cm by 13 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
- 25th June 2015Solve 3x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0.
- 26th June 2015y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 16. Work out y when x = 2.
