AQA AS level SUMMER 2026
MATHEMATICS PREDICTED PAPER
Paper 2
Time allowed: 1 hours 30 mins
Materials
l You must have the AQA Formulae for A‑level Mathematics booklet.
l You should have a graphical or scientific calculator that meets the
requirements of the specification.
Instructions
l Use black ink or black ball-point pen. Pencil should only be used for drawing.
l Fill in the boxes at the top of this page.
l Answer all questions.
l You must answer each question in the space provided for that question.
l If you need extra space for your answer(s), use the lined pages at the end of
this book. Write the question number against your answer(s).
l Do not write outside the box around each page or on blank pages.
l Show all necessary working; otherwise marks for method may be lost.
l Do all rough work in this book. Cross through any work that you do not want
to be marked.
Information
l The marks for questions are shown in brackets.
l The maximum mark for this paper is 80
Advice
l Unless stated otherwise, you may quote formulae, without proof, from
the booklet.
l You do not necessarily need to use all the space provided.
,1 Use substitution to solve the simultaneous equations
4y − 5x = − 2
3x + 2y = − 12
(4 marks)
2 The line y + 2x = 11 meets the circle with equation x 2 + y 2 + 6x − 14y = − 38 .
(i) Show that the line and circle meet at one point only.
(ii) Find the coordinates of the point of intersection.
(4 marks)

, 3 (a) A slow-motion camera is used to record the motion of a cricket ball projected directly
upwards from ground level. The motion of the cricket ball is modelled by the function
h (t ) = 11t − 4 . 9t 2 t >0
where h metres is the height of the cricket ball above ground level after t seconds. The
camera will capture the cricket balls’ motion whilst it remains at least 3 m above ground
level.
Find the maximum height the cricket ball reaches and how long it takes to reach this point.
(2 marks)
(b) Find the length of time for which the camera will capture the cricket ball’s motion.
(3 marks)
