b)

(2² ´´ 7) ´ 7 = 2² ´´ 7² = (2 ´ 5 ´ 7)²  is a perfect square

\700 ´ 7 = 4900 is the smallest multiple of 700 which is a perfect square.

16x - 5 = 3(4x + 7) \16x - 5 = 12x + 21 \16x - 12x = 21 + 5 \4x = 26 \ x = 6 ½

3

a)

Octagon: side = x \ Perimeter = 8x

Pentagon: side = x + 6 \ Perimeter = 5(x + 6)

Perimeter of Octagon = Perimeter of Pentagon + 3

\8x = 5(x + 6) + 3

 

b)

8x = 5(x + 6) + 3 \8x = 5x + 30 + 3 \3x = 33 \ x = 11 \Length of side = 17 cm

a)

9 shares = £270 \ 1 share = £30

Jill’s 5 shares = 5 ´ £30 = £150; Alan’s 4 shares = 4 ´ £30 = £120

 

b)

Alan’s 4 shares = £136 \ 1 share = £34

Profit is 9 shares in total \ Profit = 9 ´ £34 = £306

a)

Image has coordinates A`(-4, 2), B`(-2, -3), C`(3, 1)

 

b)

Image has coordinates (-3, 0), (-3, 3) and (-2, 3)

70 out of 180 had brown eyes

There are 1650 pupils in the school

Estimated number with brown eyes =

a)

3xy(y-2)

 

b)

(x + 4)(x - 2)

9

a)

Values: 12, 68, 112, 132, 148, 156, 160

 

b)

Graph

 

c)

Interquartile range 34×5 - 16 = 18×5

 

d)

60% of 160 = 96
Reading off the graph, 60% took less than 27 (approx) minutes

Volume; Length; Volume; Area

12

a)

35 - 7 > 2n + 3n \ 5n < 28 \ n < 5×6

 

b)

3n > 1 \n >  \  < n < 5×6 Integer values of n: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

13

 

a(3t - 2p) = p(3b - w) - w \3at –2ap = 3pb - pw - w

\ 3at + w = 3pb - pw + 2ap \3at + w = p(3b - w + 2a)

Ratio of radii is 1 : 2 \Ratio of volumes is 1 : 2³ or 1 : 8

\Volume of large cylinder = 8 ´ 200 = 1600 cm³

a)

(i)                 Gradient at x = ½ is approx. = 0

(ii)               Gradient at x = 1 is approx. = 1

 

b)

Graph

 

c)

- x - 5 = -\2x² - x - 5 = 0

Solution is where y = x² - x - 5 meets y = -x² i.e. at x = -1.35 and x = 1.8

16

a)

Graph of y = sin x

 

b)

Minimum value of y is -1

Maximum value of y is 1

17

 

Values: 1.8, 4, 2.5, 0.5

 

a)

Histogram

b)

Proof

 

c)

ZX is parallel to RP and is six times longer

21

a)

0.7 ´ 1 + 0×3 ´ 0×2 = 0×7 + 0×06 = 0×76
