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. Degree of accuracy
    A rectangle is 6.4 cm long and 3.8 cm wide, both correct to 1 decimal place. Work out the upper bound of its perimeter.
    Show answer and working
    1. Upper bounds: length 6.45 cm, width 3.85 cm (half of 0.1 added on).
    2. Perimeter = 2 × (6.45 + 3.85).
    3. = 20.6 cm.

    Answer: 20.6 cm

  2. Algebraic manipulation
    Simplify fully x2 − 16x2 + x − 12.
    Show answer and working
    1. Factorise the top (difference of two squares): (x − 4)(x + 4).
    2. Factorise the bottom: (x + 4)(x − 3).
    3. Cancel the common bracket (x + 4): x − 4x − 3.

    Answer: x − 4x − 3

  3. Linear graphs
    Find the equation of the line perpendicular to y = 4x + 1 that passes through the point (8, 3).
    Show answer and working
    1. The gradient of y = 4x + 1 is 4.
    2. Perpendicular gradient = −1 ÷ 4 = −¼.
    3. Substitute (8, 3) into y = −¼x + c: 3 = −2 + c, so c = 5.
    4. y = −¼x + 5.

    Answer: y = −¼x + 5

  4. Advanced trigonometry
    A triangle has sides 7 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm. Work out the size of its largest angle, correct to 1 decimal place.
    Show answer and working
    1. The largest angle is opposite the longest side (10 cm).
    2. Cosine rule: cos C = 72 + 82 − 1022 × 7 × 8 = 13112.
    3. C = cos−1(0.1160…) = 83.3°.

    Answer: 83.3°

  5. Perimeter, area and sectors
    A sector of a circle has radius 9 cm and angle 50°. Work out its area, correct to 3 significant figures.
    Show answer and working
    1. Sector area = θ360 × πr2.
    2. = 50360 × π × 81 = 35.34…
    3. = 35.3 cm2 (3 s.f.).

    Answer: 35.3 cm2

  6. Set language, notation and Venn diagrams
    In a class of 40 students, 23 play football, 17 play tennis and 8 play neither. How many play both?
    Show answer and working
    1. Students who play at least one sport: 40 − 8 = 32.
    2. Football + tennis = 23 + 17 = 40, which counts the "both" group twice.
    3. Both = 40 − 32 = 8.

    Answer: 8
