To factorise and solve for x, open two sets of brackets, i.e: (x )(x ). For this question note than one x should be replaced by 2x such that (2x )(x ). List the pairs of numbers that give a product of 12,...

Firstly, an algebraic expression of an odd number should be identified, such as 2n+1 or 2n-1. Doing this would also indicate the knowledge that 2n is always an even number, which will be important further...

The gradient of the curve equals the first derivative.dy/dx = 2x - 2At the turning point the gradient equals zero.2x -2 = 02x = 2 x= 1to find the y co-ordinate to this point substitute x = 1 into the orig...

Part 1 of this question asks you to explain why 2n+1 is an odd number, so it is assumed that the student knows this already. The definition of any odd number is 2n+1. Since all consecuti...
