Firstly, you need factorise.a = 3 b = 13 c = 14Find 2 numbers which add to make b(13) and multiply to make ac(42). These numbers are 6 and 7You can now split up the x coefficient to: 3x^2 + 6x + 7x + 14. ...

To factorise an expression such as x ² - 8x + 15, you need to look for two numbers that add up to make -8 and multiply to give 15.
The only option in this case is -5 and -3
(-5)+(-3)=...

Steinbeck makes the way Crooks is treated so disturbing through showing his interaction with Lennie and his desire to join Lennie and George's venture on their own farm in the future. Crooks initially ref...

Remember that the equation of a line is y=mx+c and m is the gradient of the line. The gradient of a perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of m ( that just means it will be -1/m). You can then...
