Every sheet in August 1969

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

  1. 1st August 1969For the curve y = 20/x, work out y when x = 2, and write down the equation of its vertical asymptote.
  2. 2nd August 1969y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 32. Work out y when x = 4.
