- 1Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (8, 15) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 289. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
- 2Conditional Probability3 marks
A bag holds 6 red, 6 blue and 5 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
- 3Histograms2 marks
On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 8-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
- 4Bounds3 marks
A block has mass 810 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 3 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
- 5Transforming Graphs y=f(x)3 marks
The point (-1, -5) lies on y = f(x). Write down its image on y = f(x + 2).
