Factorise: Top (x^2+4x+4) = (x+2)^2Bottom (3x^2+15x+18) = 3(x^2+5x+6) = 3(x+3)(x+2)Simplify: ((x+2)^2)/(3(x+3)(x+2)) = (x+2)/(3(x+3))

First, remember that a set of closed brackets directly beside a single term/another set indicates that they are being multiplied. The key to expansions like this is to do it a particular order every time ...

Error 1: expressed 3/x^(1/2) incorrectly. Should be 3x^-(1/2), not 3x^(1/2).Error 2: subtracted the larger area from the smaller area after substituting the unknowns with the given limits value.

There are different ways to approach this question: directly or breaking it down.By using the method of breaking it down, we can split this percentage into easier percentages. 15% is the sum of 10% and 5%...

This question requires us to make use of the trigonometric identities tan(y)=sin(y)/cos(y) and sin^2y + cos^2y = 1 which are given in the formula sheet of the exam. Since we know that sin(y)/cos(y) can be...
