  1. 1
    Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks

    The point (12, 16) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 400. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.

  2. 2
    Conditional Probability3 marks

    A bag holds 7 red, 7 blue and 3 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?

    Histograms2 marks

    On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?

  4. 4
    Bounds3 marks

    A block has mass 800 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 19 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.

  5. 5
    Trigonometric and Exponential Graphs2 marks

    The curve y = cos x° is drawn for 0 <= x <= 360. Write down the value of y when x = 0.
