Quadratic equations take the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0. In the case above, a = 0, b = -5, c = -14. In order to solve it, we can factorise the equation into the form (x+c)(x+d) = 0. The answers are then x = -...

steps as follows:x times x = x²2 times 5 = 102 times x = 2xx times 5 = 5xthen add these together:y = x² + 7x +10x = -2, -5; y = 0, 10

This is an example of a simultaneous equation - 2X + Y = 5X + 3Y = 10 You can think of X and Y as apples and oranges from a market. You know that if you buy 2 apples and 1 orange it cost £5, but this does...

Raya buys a van for £8,500 x 1.2 = £10,200. Total of 12 equal payments = 12 x £531.25 = £6375. Raya's deposit = £10,200 - £6375 = £3825. Ratio of the dep...

This is an application of trigonometry. The right angle in this case is between the wall and the floor and the hypotenuse is the ladder. The angle between the wall and the ladder can using the sine of the...
