- 1Quadratic Simultaneous Equations3 marks
Solve x^2 + y^2 = 225 and y = x + 3 simultaneously.
- 2Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 32. Work out the positive value of x when y = 72.
- 3Proof of the Circle Theorems2 marks
In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that a triangle is drawn from the ends of a diameter to a point on the circle. State the reason being quoted.
- 4Probability Equation Questions3 marks
A bag holds 10 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 28/45. Work out r.
- 5Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 5 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
