x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18 = (x^2 - a^2)(x + b) where a,b are integers. Work out the three linear factors of x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18. (Note: x^3 indicates x cubed and x^2 indicates x squared).

There are a few different ways to approach this problem. The most obvious is to attempt to factorise x 3 + 2x 2 - 9x - 18. However it is very difficult to approach the problem like this. fortunately the ques...

Jo has the following 9 coins in her purse: 10p, 2p, 2p, 50p, 10p, 1p, 20p, 2p, 2p. Work out the median, mean, mode and range.

To work out the median of a set of numbers we first place them in order: 1p, 2p, 2p, 2p, 2p, 10p, 10p, 20p, 50p Then the median is the middle value in the list, in this case 2p. To work out the mean we must ...

Emma has a digital photo. The photo has width 960 pixels and height 720 pixels. Write down the ratio of the width of the photo to the height of the photo. Give the ratio in its simplest form.

4:3 Working: 960:720 (divide by 10) 96:72 (divide by 8 as 8 is common multiple of both 96 and 72 (should know this from times tables)) 12:9 (divide by 3) 4:3 simplifying slowly and in small steps reduces the...
