Pythagoras: If you have a right angled triangle PQR, and length PQ=5cm, length QR=8cm (which is the longest length), then calculate length PR to two decimal places.

Pythagoras' theorem is: a^2+b^2=c^2 (a=short side, b=short side, c=longest side/hypotenuse, ^=squared). Now applying that to this question would mean that a=PQ, b=PR and c=QR. So we can use the figures gi...

X^2+4x-21=0 Solve for x

Quadractics factorise into double brackets like (x-a)(x-b). We ave to find the facors of -21 which add to make +4. 7 and -3 suffice. (x-3)(x+7) Then x will be equal to 3 and -7 for the equation.

Solve this pair of simultaneous equations: 3x + y= 7 and 3x - y = 5

Step 1: Start off by labeling the 2 equations. 3 x + y = 7 will be equation 1. 3 x - y = 5 will be equation 2.

Step 2: rearrange equation 1 to make y the subject. 3 x + y = 7 ---> y = 7 - 3 x (h...
