The surface area of a sphere can be calculated using Area = 4 x Pi x r^2. Since we know the surface are of the first sphere is 4m^2, we can write: 4 = 4 x Pi x r^2. This simplifies to r^2 = 0.318. Taking ...

We treat this problem as two simultaneous equations, using our knowledge that when two graphs intersect, they simultaneously have the same solution. The second equation (quadratic equation) is already in ...

To solve this linear equation, our ultimate goal is to end up with our unknown "x" value on one side and our number on the other side of this equation. To get to this stage, there are three step...

Perpendicular gradients multiply to give -1. The gradient of the perpendicular line (y=-3/2x+7/2) is -3/2 , so the gradient of PQ is 2/3. Using gradient formula change in y/ change in x :(4-b)/(3-a) = 2/3...

First, let's use the discriminant to check that the function actually does intersect the x-axis. b²-4ac = 4-(4 x -3) = 4+12 = 16, which is greater than 0, so we're fine.
T...
