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.

x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18 = (x^2 - a^2)(x + b) where a,b are integers. Work out the three linear factors of x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18. (Note: x^3 indicates x cubed and x^2 indicates x squared).
To differentiate a simple equation: y= 4x^3 + 7x
A straight line passes trough the points A(-4;7); B(6;-5); C(8;t). Use an algebraic method to work out the value of t.
