Every sheet in September 1962

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

  1. 1st September 1962Factorise x^2 - 16.
  2. 2nd September 1962y is inversely proportional to x. When x = 3, y = 10. Work out y when x = 10.
