Every sheet in July 1970

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

  1. 1st July 1970Four classes in order have frequencies 12, 7, 7, 11. Write down the cumulative frequency at the end of the third class.
  2. 2nd July 1970Write 4^-2 as a fraction.
  3. 3rd July 1970For the curve y = 22/x, work out y when x = 2, and write down the equation of its vertical asymptote.
  4. 4th July 1970y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 4, y = 64. Work out y when x = 5.
