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

  1. 1st March 2024On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 8-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  2. 2nd March 2024A car covers 790 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 3 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  3. 3rd March 2024Solve x^2 + y^2 = 100 and y = x + 2 simultaneously.
  4. 4th March 2024y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 3, y = 108. Work out y when x = 2.
  5. 5th March 2024The 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.
