Pythagoras theorem can sound quite intimidating but it involves remembering just one equation and using it like a rule. This rule can only be used on right-angled triangle. Just remember c² = ...

>>> 2x+5=3x^2 >>> 3x^2-2x-5=0>>> (3x-5)(x+1)=0>>> x=-1 or x=5/3>>> therefore (-1,3) and (5/3,25/3)

Triangle XYZ forms a right angles triangle, so pythagoras' theorem can be used to calculate the missing side. We are given the two side length adjacent to the right angle, so we need to find the hypotenus...

There are two main methods for solving simultaneous equations. The first method is the elimination method. This method uses addition or subtraction of the two equations with equal amounts of 'x' or 'y' in...

=(x-4)²(x-4)=(x²-8x+16)(x-4)=x³-4x²-8x²+32x+16x-64= x³-12x²+48x-64
