Take the example x² + 5x + 6.You need to think of 2 numbers that multiple together to make 6, and add together to make 5. Therefore in the brackets we need 2 and 3. As all the signs are positiv...

Firstly we rearrange one of these equations so that we have y on one side of the equation on its own. Let's do this with the second equation.

So from 5x+y=14, we can minus 5x from both si...

Solve the equation :  x² - 8x + 15

The first step is to factorise the quadratic equation.

1. You must find two numbers which will add to g...

Reciprocal is when you interchange the numerator (the number on top in a fraction) with the denominator (the number at the bottom in a fraction). The numerator, is now the denominator and the denominat...

Perimeter of a quarter circle = (2πr)/4

r = 100ft

P = (2πr)/4 = (2×3.14×100)/4 = 157

Because we are calculating the length of the fence – as the fence goes aro...
