There are two approaches which can be taken when solving this equation. The first is using the quadratic equation. By comparing the coefficients of the example to the general quadratic equation, a(x^2)+b(...

This question is asking for a complete the square method. This is where you take the coefficient of x (the number before x, so 3 here) and divide it by two, this gives you b in the new form. However, upon...

When a number is raised to the power of a fraction, it is the same as rooting that number to the denominator (the number on the bottom). So if the number is raised to ½ it is the same as √ and if it is ra...

To find the points at which an equation intersects the x-axis, we first need to factorise the equation to be able to find the solutions. To do this, we consider the general form of a quadratic equation a...

First, clearly write the two equations above one another, and label them (1) and (2). Rearrange the linear equation (the one with no squared variables) to make y the subject of the equation. You should ge...
