1

a)

Increase = 3 500 000

 

b)

(1.04)³ ´ 5000 = £5624.32

2

 

15 - 4x = 21 \ 15 - 21 = 4x \ 4x = -6 \ x = -1.5

3

 

x = 2.5 too low

x = 2.6 too high

x = 2.55 too low \ x = 2.6 (to 1 d.p.)

4

a)

Frequency Polygon points at (9.5, 20), (29.5, 45), (49.5, 24), (69.5, 9), (89.5, 2)

 

b)

5

 

AC² = 8.7² - 5.4² = 46.53 \AC = 6.8

6

 

7

a)

2.886 x 10-8

 

b)

6.855 ´ 105

8

a)

8x7y7

 

b)

- x - 30

 

c)

h² = t - d \ d = t -

10

 

CB=13.5 ´ sin 62° = 11.9 m  \BD=11.9 - 4.7 = 7.2 m

11

a)

b)

c)

12

a)

m µ\ m = kr³

When r = 2, m = 80 \ 80 = k (2³) \ 8k = 80 \ k = 10

\m = 10r³

 

b)

(i)                 m = 10 (4³) = 640 g

(ii)               270 = 10 r³ \ r³ = 27 \ r = 3 cm

13

a)

ÐAOC = 72° Angle at centre is double angle at circumference

 

b)

ÐOXC = 18° DOXC is a right-angled triangle

 

c)

ÐADC = 144° ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral

14

a)

Not random, could be a year group eating first or a group of friends

 

b)

Take a stratified sample to get a proportional number from each year group / gender

15

a)

(x - 4)(x + 4)

 

b)

2x² + 5x - 12 = (2x - 3)(x + 4)

16

 

Error = 0.5 mm

AB(max) = 3.45 cm, BQ(max) = 4.25 cm

AQ(max)² = 3.45² + 4.25² = 29.965 \ AQ(max) = 5.47 cm

PQ(max)² = AQ(max)² + AP(max)²  = 29.965 + 2.65² = 36.9875

\PQ(max) = 6.08 cm

17

 

Number of employees = 358

Management , Sales = 10, S/ware = 3, H/ware = 3, Admin = 2

18

a)

Similar shape translated down y-axis, cuts y-axis at (0, -1)

 

b)

Similar shape translated left along x-axis, touches x-axis at (-4, 0)

 

c)

(i)                 and (ii)

 

19

 

SQ² = 8.6² + 10.8² - 2(8.6)(10.8) cos 38° = 44.22 \SQ = 6.65 cm

ÐQPS = 74°

20

 

21

 

Mean = 43.5; Standard deviation = 11.68

22

a)

Area of front and back = 3x + 3x = 6x

Area of sides = 3(x - 1) + 3(x - 1) = 6x - 6

Area top and bottom = x(x - 1) + x(x - 1) = 2x² - 2x

\Surface area = 2x² + 10x - 6

But surface area = 63 \2x² + 10x - 6 = 63 or 2x² + 10x - 69 = 0

 

b)

(i)

To give x = 3.88 or - 8.88

(ii)  Length = 3.88 cm, Width = 2.88 cm and Height = 3 cm  (ignore negative x)
