Exam-Style Questions.Problems adapted from questions set for previous Mathematics exams. |
1. | GCSE Higher |
A motorbike moves from rest along a straight road. The graph below shows the speed, \(v\) in metres per second of the motorbike \(t\) seconds after it started to move.
(a) What is the maximum speed achieved by the motorbike.
(b) Calculate an estimate of the gradient of the graph at t = 10.
(c) Describe what your answer to part (b) represents.
(d) Work out an estimate for the distance the motorbike travels in the first 25 seconds of its journey by dividing the area under the graph into five strips of equal width.
2. | A-Level |
(a) Use the trapezium rule with 4 ordinates to estimate to 2 decimal places the value of
$$ \int^{\frac{2\pi}{3}}_0 \sin{x} \; \text{dx} $$(b) State whether this estimate is an overestimate or underestimate of the area.
[Note: If knowing about radians is not part of your course then \( \frac{2\pi}{3} \) can be replaced with 120°.]
If you would like space on the right of the question to write out the solution try this Thinning Feature. It will collapse the text into the left half of your screen but large diagrams will remain unchanged.
The exam-style questions appearing on this site are based on those set in previous examinations (or sample assessment papers for future examinations) by the major examination boards. The wording, diagrams and figures used in these questions have been changed from the originals so that students can have fresh, relevant problem solving practice even if they have previously worked through the related exam paper.
