GCSE Maths Base Exam

1. 5^8
2. 200π
3. 22a
4. (√3)/2
5. 8+½ = 17/2

2+2/3 = 8/3

(17/2) / (8/3) = 17/2 * 3/8 = 51/16 = 3+3/16

6. dy = 64-48 = 16

dx = 1

Speed = dy/dx = 16

7. No because the sum of the angles in a quadrilateral is given by the formula 180(n-2), where n is
the number of sides. Therefore, the sum of angles in a pentagon is 180(5-3), which is 540
degrees.
8. A) Day 8 because the number of planes landing is much lower, probably due to the fog.

B) 24/4 = 6

6*150 = 900 planes per day

900*365 = 328500 planes per year

C) her prediction could be too low or too high, because her measurements were during the day, in
which the numbers would be a bit too high, but her measurements were also during winter, which
would’ve given lower numbers than the average

9. 6^2 + 8^2 = 100

√100 = 10

√3 125 𝑎3 =5 𝑎
5a = 10

a=2

10. Percentage increase = (280/80)*100 = 350%


11. A and D
12. (x-4)(x+3) = 0

X-4=0, x=4

X+3=0, x=-3

X=4 and –3
13. e:f * f:g = ef:fg = e:g

2:3 * 5:4 = 10:12 = 5:6

e:g = 5:6

14. 1 - 0.3 = 0.7


15. A) C because it has the lowest median time

B) B because the interquartile range is smallest, meaning most of the times were near the
median.

18. Beth takes 8 days, so does 12.5% per day

Mia takes 10 days, so does 10% per day

Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6


Beth 12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5
Mia None None 10 10 10 10
Total 12.5 25 47.5 70 92.5 115

100% is done by day 6

6-2 = 4

Therefore it takes 4 more days to complete the work

19. A) x+5:y+8 = 1:2

𝑥+ 5 1
=
𝑦 +8 2
2x+10 = y+8

2x+2 = y

y = 2x+2

B) x+10 = y+1

y = x+9

x+9 = 2x+2

x+2 = 9

x=7
y = 2(7) + 2 = 16

20. If QS was the diameter, QPS would be a right angle

Therefore I have to prove that QPS ≠ 90 degrees

RPQ = 27 degrees because it is subtended by the same chord as RSQ

RPS = (180-50)/2 = 65 degrees because XPS is an isosceles triangle and therefore angle XPS = angle
XSP

QPS = 65 + 27 = 92 degrees, which isn’t a right angle, meaning QS is not the diameter

21. 1st diff = 15, 19, 23

2nd diff = 4, 4

n^2 term = 4/2 = 2

Sequence 11 26 45 68
2n^2 2 8 18 32
Difference 9 18 27 36

Difference = 9,18,27,36 = 9n

Sequence = 2n^2 + 9n

𝑥 ( 𝑥 −2 ) 7 ( 𝑥+ 4 )
22. + =1

23. Area scale factor = 4:9

Linear scale factor = 2:3

Volume scale factor = 8:27

Prism B volume = 27*480/8 = 1620cm^3

Prism B cross section area = 1620/30 = 54cm^2

d = 30

25. Roots = -3,3

Y-intercept = 18
2
𝑑 𝑦
Sign = negative because it curves down ( 2
<0)
𝑑𝑥
x-3 and x+3 are factors

y = a(x+3)(x-3) = a(x^2-9)

a = -2 because that makes the y-intercept 18 rather than –9

Therefore y = -2x^2+18

26. ½ * 20 * x * sin(60) = 25√3

10 * x * √3/2 = 25√3

B) k

Oh, by the way, it says I first opened this in like November but that’s just because I viewed it and
thought I had to edit the pdf file, but I realize now that I can just write the answers on a separate
document, I didn't take 20 days to do the test don’t worry
