Work out the value of n, the value of A & the value of B (question given below in correct subscript)

(2x3/2y-1)n = Ax6yB First of all both sides need to be written in the same format so simplify the left hand side. 2n (x3/2)n (y-1)n We are given the power of x is 6 so we can write and equation and solve to find n. x3n/2 = x6 Ignore the x as that is a constant value 3n/2 = 6 so 3n = 12 and n = 4 Now substitute n to find A and B. 24= 16 and y-1x4= y-4 This means n=4, A=16 and B=-4

Expand and simplify (x – 2)(2x + 3)


2x + 4 > 16


From factorising a^2-b^2 hence or otherwise simplify fully (x^2 + 4)^2 - (x^2-2)^2


Insert one pair of brackets so that this calculation is correct; 3 x 6 + 5 - 1 = 32
