(c) The tens digit of a number is x and the units digit is y.
Hence the value of the numbere is 10𝑥 + 𝑦.
For example, if x = 5 and y = 6, the number would be 10 × 5 + 6 = 56.
(I) When the digits x and y are reversed, the value of the number is increased by 63.
Show that 𝑦 = 𝑥 = 7.
(II) The sum of the original number and the number with reversed digits is 99.
(i) Show that 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 9.
(ii) Hence find the value of x and the value of y.

AC = 12 cm and AOB = 130°.
8. Some children were asked how many television programmes they had watched on the previous day.
The table shows the results.
(a) Write down the largest possible value of x given that the mode is 1.
(b) Write down the largest possible value of x given that the median is 1.
(c) Calculate the value of x given that the mean is 1.
9. It is given that f(𝑥) = 2𝑥 − 7 and g(𝑥) = 𝑥(𝑥 − 6).
(a) Find the value of f(−5).
(b) (i) Obtain an expression for f −1 (𝑥),
(ii) Find the value of f −1 (15).
(c) Find the values of x for which
(i) g(𝑥) = 0,
(ii) f(𝑥) = g(𝑥).
10. Ahmed throws a ball to John. The ball travels 10 metres at an average speed of x metres per second.
(a) Write an expression, in terms of x, for the time taken, in seconds, for the ball to travel from
Ahmed to John.
(b) John then throws the ball to Pierre. The ball travels 15 metres. The ball’s average speed is
0.5 metres per second greater than the ball’s average speed from Ahmed to John.
Write an expression, in terms of x, for the time taken, in seconds, for the ball to travel from
John to Pierre.
(c) The time taken between John catching the ball and then throwing it to Pierre is 2 seconds. The
total time taken for the ball to travel from Ahmed to Pierre is 7 seconds.
Write down an equation in x, and show that it simplifies to
2𝑥 2 − 9𝑥 − 2 = 0 .
(d) Solve the equation 2𝑥 2 − 9𝑥 − 2 = 0, giving each answer correct to 2 decimal places.
(e) (i) Find the average speed, in metres per second, of the ball as it travels from John to Pierre.
(ii) How much longer does it take for the ball to travel from John to Pierre than from Ahmed
to John? Give your answer in seconds.
