Show that 12 cos 30° - 2 tan 60° can be written in the form root (k) where k is an integer.

To answer these questions, students must know the values of cos30 and tan60. If you don't know them off by heart, you can work them out using an equilateral triangle.

cos 30° = adj / hyp =...

Using the quadratics formula find the two solutions to x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0.

x1 = (-b + (b2 - 4ac)1/2)/2a and x2 = (-b - (b2 - 4ac)1/2)/2a. So with the values a = 1, b = 3 and c = 2: x1 = (-3 + (32 <...

Starting with x^2+2x+1=0 use the method of factorising to solve for x.

x2+2x+1=0, (x+1)(x+1)=0, (x+1)2=0. So x=-1

Consider f:R -> R, f = x/ sqrt(x^2+1). Prove that for any a between -1 and 1, f(x)=a has only one solution.

f'(x)=( sqrt (x^2+1) - x * ( x / sqrt (x^2 +1) ) ) / (x^2+1) = (x^2 + 1 + x^2) / ( (x^2 + 1) * sqrt ( x^2 + 1) ) =  1 / ( (x^2 + 1) * sqrt (x^2 + 1) ). 

f'(x) > 0 for any x => f is increasing...

What is the point of intersection of two lines, and how would I find it?

The point of intersection is where the lines would cross if we drew them on the same graph, in your exam you may be asked to find the coordinates of this point.

To do this we would first draw a ske...
