- 1Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2, one 25 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
- 2Surds3 marks
Simplify sqrt(45) + sqrt(45), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
- 3Algebraic Fractions3 marks
Simplify (x^2 + 11x + 24)/(x + 8).
- 4Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 125. Work out the positive value of x when y = 180.
- 5Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (10, 24) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 676. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
