1 share = 8000 ÷ 25 = £320

Bob:    9 ´ 320 = £2880;  Viv: 5 ´ 320 = £1600;  Mary:  11 ´ 320 = £3520

a.

V = pr²h = p ´ 2.6² ´ 95 = 2017.5 cm3

[3]

 

b.

Density = mass ÷ volume = 8600 ÷ 2017.5 = 4.26 g/cm3

4.7     (-4.077)                  too low

4.8     (1.99)                     too high

4.75    (-1.07813)              too low

x = 4.8 (1 d.p.)

PR² = 16.4² + 9.5² = 359.21

PR = 18.95 m

8.

a.

1.49 ´ 108

[1]

 

b.

(5.98 ´ 1024) ÷ 81 = 7.38 ´ 1022

9.

a.

x² + 2x - 35

[2]

 

b.

8n + 4x = 6x -5

8n = 2x - 5

n = (2x - 5)/8

c.

5x(y - 3x)

a.

Height=54 ´ tan 43° = 50.36 m

[3]

 

b.

Tan EBC = 50.36/36 = 1.3988

EBC = Tan-1(1.3988) = 54.4°

12.

a.

0.1 and 0.9 on first branch            (or 1/10 and 9/10)

0.1 and 0.9 on second branch

[2]

 

b.

0.1 ´ 0.9 + 0.9 ´ 0.1 = 0.18           (or 18/100)

[2]

13.

 

Any value between 5.5 and 5.7

(5x - 3)(2x - 1)

x = 3/5 and ½

Volume of sphere = 4/3 ´ p ´ 6.53 = 1150.35

Volume of cone = 1/3 ´ p ´´ 9.4 = 9.84r²

9.84r² = 1150.35

r² = 116.9      \r = 10.8

Area of sector = 100/360 ´ p ´ 4.6² = 18.46

Area of triangle = ½ ´ 4.6 ´ 4.6 ´ sin 100° = 10.42

Area of shaded region = 18.46 - 10.42 = 8 cm

 

[6]

23.

 

Distance = 73 ± 0.5

Time = 2.4 ± 0.05

Greatest average speed       = greatest distance ÷ least time

                                      = 73.5 ÷ 2.35

                                      = 31.3 mph

a.

Plot point (1, 48), (4, 81), (9, 148), (16, 236), (25, 348)

[2]

 

b.

Estimate y intercept to give b between (30 and 40)

Estimate gradient of line to give a = 12.5 (approx)
