(x+3)(x-4)(x+5) is identical to x^3 +ax^2 -17x+b. Find the value of a and the value of b.

Multiplying out the first two brackets gives (x^2-x-12)(x+5). Multiplying the remaining brackets gives x^3 + 4x^2 -17x - 60. a = 4b = 60

Solve the simultaneous equations : x ^2+2y=9, y=x+3 to find solutions for x and y.

We must use the substitution method for this question because the first equation is a quadratic. Take the more simple equation (the second one), and use that to substitute the value for y in to the first equ...
