  1. 1
    Histograms2 marks

    On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 12-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?

  2. 2
    Bounds3 marks

    x = 32 and y = 13, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.

  3. 3
    Quadratic Simultaneous Equations3 marks

    Solve x^2 + y^2 = 676 and y = x - 14 simultaneously.

  4. 4
    Velocity Time Graphs3 marks

    A tram runs at 19 m/s for 20 s, then slows steadily to rest over 6 s. Work out its average speed for the whole journey, to 2 decimal places.

  5. 5
    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.
