- 1Expanding and Factorising Quadratics3 marks
Factorise x^2 - 17x + 72.
- 2Direct and Inverse Proportion3 marks
y is directly proportional to x. When x = 3, y = 33. Work out y when x = 2.
- 3The Sine Rule3 marks
In triangle ABC, angle A is 58°, angle B is 39° and side a is 5 cm. Use the sine rule to work out side b, to 1 decimal place.
- 4Venn Diagrams3 marks
In a Venn diagram, 8 are in A only, 15 in B only, 12 in both and 7 in neither. Work out the probability a random one is in both.
- 5Capture Recapture2 marks
A capture-recapture estimate is made of the beetle population of a woodland. State one assumption the method relies on.
