MORE REVISION RIDES AGAIN20040202


This sheet should be done entirely without calculators. The idea is to help remember some numbers and some rules and to apply some skills.


1   The number of millimetres in an inch is __________________

2   A mile is _____________ kilometres to 3 d.p.

3    10 gallons is _____________ litres

4   (-21) ²    = ___________    22 ²    = __________  -(23) ²    = ___________

5    27²   - 23²    =  50 x ____  = _____          28²  - 22²    =  50 x  ______  = 300

6    A sum times a _______________ is the _______ of two ___________s

Using this rule and without knowing any extreme squares:

7      57²  -  43²       = 

8      77²  -  23²       = 

9      143²  -   57²    = 

AND, using the same idea in reverse (which is a hint in both directions)

10     (28 + 7) (28 - 7)   =

11      107  x  93           =

12      89  x  71             =

If you’re up to this, use matrices to solve                 

 .           15 x  –   9 y    =   7

 .           17 x  +  11 y   = -3

help: the determinant is 15x11-(-9)x17 = 318
