- 1Quadratic Simultaneous Equations3 marks
Solve x^2 + y^2 = 100 and y = x + 2 simultaneously.
- 2Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 4, y = 144. Work out the positive value of x when y = 36.
- 3Perpendicular 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.
- 4Conditional Probability3 marks
A bag holds 4 red, 5 blue and 4 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
- 5Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 5 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
