Every sheet in November 2019

The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st November 2019Solve x^2 + 8x + 15 < 0.
  2. 2nd November 2019y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 4, y = 256. Work out y when x = 3.
