Well this can be rewritten as : (x+8)(x-2), so roots are x=-8, and x=2. So therefore the x co-ordinate of the minimum point is half way between the 2 roots by symmetry. So the x co-ordinate is x=-3. Subs...

ANSWER = 3/55

First we want to eliminate of one these variables in order to solve the equations. We need to identify which variable has the same coefficient- in this case, it is y. So, we subtract the two equations fro...

Normally to find a tangent we want to work out dy/dx, but since this equation is x=something, it's much easier to work out dx/dy first, then we get dy/dx by doing 1/(dx/dy)=dy/dx.
By the chain rule, ...

When we have a probability question with multiple possible outcome as we have here (the multiple possible outcomes are pulling out a green, purple, black or pink counter) the probabilities of all of these...
