  1. 1
    Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks

    The point (20, 21) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 841. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.

  2. 2
    Conditional Probability3 marks

    A bag holds 6 red, 6 blue and 3 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?

  3. 3
    Histograms2 marks

    On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 15-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?

  4. 4
    Bounds3 marks

    A block has mass 260 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.

  5. 5
    Inverse and Composite Functions3 marks

    f(x) = 3x - 2 and g(x) = 3x - 7. Work out fg(-3).
