Obviously past papers are key for practice at GCSE. Even old style practice papers are still useful. However it is not enough to just get answers wrong and move on. It is more useful to look up all the vo...

tan^2(x)=1/(cos^2(x))-1 Left hand side of the equation (LHS)=tan^2(x) Use the identity tan(x)=sin(x)/cos(x) and substitute it into the LHS LHS=sin^2(x)/cos^2(x) Use the identity sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1 and re...

4x^2 + 8x - 5 = 0 4(x^2 + 2x - (5/4)) = 0 4((x + 1)^2 - 1^2 - (5/4)) = 0 4((x + 1)^2 - (9/4)) = 0 4(x + 1)^2 - 9 = 0 4(x + 1)^2 - 9 = 0 Turning point is at (-1, -9)
