Worked examples (not from this test)

Try each one, then open the solution. They use the same methods as the questions in the mock.

  1. Surds and powers
    Work out the value of 64−2/3.
    Show answer and working
    1. The 3 in the denominator means cube root: ∛64 = 4.
    2. The 2 means square: 42 = 16.
    3. The minus sign means reciprocal: 116.

    Answer: 116

  2. Quadratic equations and graphs
    Solve 2x2 + 3x − 7 = 0. Give your solutions correct to 2 decimal places.
    Show answer and working
    1. Quadratic formula with a = 2, b = 3, c = −7.
    2. b2 − 4ac = 9 + 56 = 65.
    3. x = −3 ± √654 = 1.2655… or −2.7655…
    4. x = 1.27 or x = −2.77.

    Answer: x = 1.27 or x = −2.77

  3. Advanced trigonometry
    A cuboid measures 5 cm by 4 cm by 3 cm. Work out the length of its longest diagonal, correct to 3 significant figures.
    Show answer and working
    1. Diagonal of the base: √(52 + 42) = √41.
    2. Space diagonal: √(41 + 32) = √50.
    3. √50 = 7.07 cm (3 s.f.).

    Answer: 7.07 cm

  4. Advanced trigonometry
    Triangle PQR has PQ = 9 cm, PR = 7 cm and angle QPR = 52°. Work out its area, correct to 3 significant figures.
    Show answer and working
    1. Two sides and the angle between them: area = ½ab sin C.
    2. ½ × 9 × 7 × sin 52° = 24.82…
    3. = 24.8 cm2 (3 s.f.).

    Answer: 24.8 cm2

  5. Probability
    The probability that Ravi passes a test is 0.7 and the probability that Sana passes is 0.6. The events are independent. Work out the probability that at least one of them passes.
    Show answer and working
    1. P(at least one passes) = 1 − P(both fail).
    2. P(both fail) = 0.3 × 0.4 = 0.12.
    3. 1 − 0.12 = 0.88.

    Answer: 0.88

  6. Algebraic manipulation
    Expand and simplify (x + 2)(x − 1)(x + 4).
    Show answer and working
    1. First two brackets: (x + 2)(x − 1) = x2 + x − 2.
    2. Multiply by (x + 4): x3 + 4x2 + x2 + 4x − 2x − 8.
    3. Collect like terms: x3 + 5x2 + 2x − 8.

    Answer: x3 + 5x2 + 2x − 8
