A ball, dropped vertically, falls d metres in t seconds. d is directly proportional to the square of t. The ball drops 45 metres in the first 3 seconds. How far does the ball drop in the next 7 seconds?

If d is directly proportional to the square of t, we write this as d= kt2 , where k = the proportionality constant which we must find. Substitute in the values given in the question into our e...

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 16cm. The length of the base of the triangle is x+4 and that of the other two sides is x+3. Find the area of the triangle

16=2(x+3)+(x+4)16=2x+6+x+46=3xx=2 - Therefore the base has length 6
a=6y/2 - where y is the perpendicular heighty^2=5^2-3^2y^2=25-9y^2=16y=4
Therefore a=(6*4)/2 a=12 cm^2

Find the coordinates and the point of intersection between the lines 8x + 7y = 11 and y = 5x + 2

Substitute y = 5x + 2 into 8x + 7y = 11 to get, 8x + 7(5x + 2) = 11This simplifies down to 8x + 35x + 14 = 11And further simplifies to 43x = -3 giving the solution x = -3/43Substituting the x solution bac...

a)By completing the square, prove the quadratic formula starting from ax^2+bx+c=0, b) hence, or otherwise solve 3x^2 + 7x -2= 9, to 3s.f.

a)starting from ax2+bx+c=0, divide through by a, x2+(b/a)x+c/a=0, complete the square (x+(b/2a))2-(b/2a)2 +c/a=0, expand (x+(b/2a))2-(b2/4...
