Solve x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0

First factorise the quadratic into the form (x + a)(x + b) = 0.This will make x^2 + ax + bx + ab = 0.Work out a and b so that a + b = 7 and ab = 10.a = 5 b = 25+2 = 7 52 = 10.

A linear sequence begins: a + 2b, a + 6b, a + 10b, ..., ... Given that the 2nd term has a value of 8 and the 5th term has a value of 44, calculate the values for a and b

This is a linear sequence which we can see increasing by 4b with every consecutive term.

Given the values of the first 3 terms, we can see that the 4th and 5th terms must be a + 14b and a + 18b...

We have two straight lines AB and CD. The coordinates of A,B and C are A(1,3), B(5,9) and C(0,8). The point D lies on the line AB and is halfway between points A and B. Is the line CD perpendicular to AB?

First of all we need to find the coordinates of the point D. As D is halfway between the two points A and B, to find the midpoint of a line segment, we add the x coordinates then divide by 2, and add the ...
