Given f(x)= 8 − x^2, solve f(3x) = -28
First substitute (3x) into the equation for f(x), giving f(3x) = 8 - 9x2. This is then equal to -28 and so it is remains to solve the equation 8 - 9x2 = -28. This can be written as 9x2 = 36, dividing through by 9 gives x2 = 4 and so x = ±2.

All answers ▸(x+4)((x^2) - kx - 5) is expanded and simplified. The coefficient of the x^2 term twice the coefficient of the x term. Work out the value of k.
Why is it that when 'transformation A' is followed by 'transformation B', that the combined transformation is BA and not AB?
Show that 2cos^2(x) = 2 - 2sin^2(x) and hence solve 2cos^2(x) + 3sin(x) = 3 for 0<x<180
