e.g. given x^2 +3x -8 = 0using the quadratic formulayou find x = (-b +- sqrt(b^2 -4ac))/2ayou then find one root using the plus instead of plus minus sign, and the other root using the minus instead of pl...

There are a few steps to this question. Before we can work out our value of X we will have to figure out an equation that links X and Y.Now if X were proportional to Y, then as X got bigger so would Y.We ...

Yes of course.
I will start with an example. Try and solve these simultaneous equations I will talk you through the model answer below.
3x + y = -4 3x - 4y = 6
Notice both equations contai...

Point P has x-coordinate 4, to work out the y-coordinate you should substitute x=4 into the equation of the circle. This gives you 16 + y^2 = 80. this can be rearranged to y^2 = 80 - 16 = 64. Therefore y...

Let x denote the number of boys studying French and y the number of girls studying French. Then the probability that a boy chosen random studies French is x/720 and the probability that a randomly chosen ...
