x² - 10x + 33 ≡ (x - a)² + b Work out the value of a and b. Our aim here is to write the expression on the left in the same form as the one on the...

First you need to remove the fractions from each side,

take the equation: (x+1)/(x+3) = (2x-1)/(3x-1)

now multiply by x+3 to give x+1 = (2x-1)(x+3)/(3x-1)

now multiply by (3x-1) to gi...

Firstly to work out the area of the triangle OAP we need to know the coordinates of the individual points O, A and P. O is the centre of the axis hence has coordinates (0,0). The coordinates of the point ...
