A root of a function is where the function equals zero. So to begin to solve we must set the function to equal zero.x^2-5x+6 = 0If the question didn't make it clear already, you should be able to identif...

1. First let coins in pile I equal x. Then we the question tells us II has twice pile A so we can now write this as 2x. Finally, we can write pile III as 6x - reason is that III has three times pile II...

a) The surface area of a 3 dimensional shape is the sum total of the area of each side of the shape. This cuboid is 3x4x2, and so it has 2 sides with area 3x4 = 12, 2 sides with area 4x2 = 8, and 2 sides ...

Factorise fully the following expression: 2a²b + 6ab²
First, find the common terms by treating, 2a²b and 6ab² as separate objects.
We see common term...

Rearrange one of the equations to make y the subject:y = 5 - 2x Substitute y into the other equation: 3x + 5 - 2x = 7 x = 2 y = 5 - (2 x 2) y = 1
