Simplify 125 ^ -2/3

= (1/125) ^ 2/3 = (1/5) ^ 2 = 1/25 To find a number to a negative power, you invert it (flip it so that 125 becomes 1/125) To find (1/125) ^ 2/3, find the cube root of 1/125 (=1/5) and then square it (=1/25)

Prove that the composite function fg(2)=-26 where f(x)=3x+1 and g(x)=1-5x

Here, f(x) and g(x) are functions of x, whose output depends on the value of x. fg(2) means fg(x) where x=2. Firstly, calculate g(2) and use this answer as the new value of x for f(x). g(2)=1-5(2)=-9. f(-9)=...

Factorise fully 3a^3b + 12a^2b^2 + 9a^5b^3

The first step here is to find a common factor in each term. If we first look at the coefficients of each term we can see the first common factor is 3, so we can write that first outside of our brackets. 3.....
