- 1Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (9, 40) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 1681. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
- 2Conditional Probability3 marks
A bag holds 6 red, 4 blue and 3 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
- 3Histograms2 marks
On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 15-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
- 4Surds3 marks
Rationalise the denominator of 6/sqrt(2), giving your answer in its simplest form.
- 5Transforming Graphs y=f(x)3 marks
