Express √75 in the form of n√3 , where n is an integer. Using this information, solve the following equation: x√48 = √75 + 3√3 (4 marks)

√75 = 5√3, therefore 

x√48 = √75 + 3√3

x√48 = 5√3 + 3√3

x(√16 x √3) = 5√3 + 3√3

4x√3 = 5√3 + 3√3

4x√3 = (5 + 3)√3

4x√3 = 8√3

x√3 = 2√3

x = 2

Differentiate and factorise y = x^2(3x + 1)

Product rule:      dy/dx = uv' + u'v dy/dx = 2x(3x + 1) + x^2(3) dy/dx = 2x(3x + 1) +3x^2 dy/dx = 6x^2 + 2x + 3x^2 dy/dx = 9x^2 + 2x dy/dx = x(9x + 2)
