If x:y=7:4 and x + y = 88, work out the value of x – y.

Total of parts: 7+4=11therefore if we divide 88 in 11 “parts” we get each part as 8.hence if x corresponds to 7 parts then x=8X7=56 and if y corresponds to 4 “parts” y=4X8=32THEREFORE: x-y=56-32=24

Find the points where f(x)=x^2-5x-14 meets the x-axis and find the turning point

Set x^2-5x-14=0. So (x-7)(x+2)=0So function meets x-axis at (-2,0) and (7,0).
To find turning point, differentiate function and set equal to 0.2x-5=0. So x=5/2. Substitute x=5/2 into f(x) to give y c...
