Find the equation of the line in the form of y=mx+c given that two points on the line are (3,1) and (6,10)

Firstly, we can solve this equation by drawing a graph. By drawing it accurately we can see that the line intercepts the y-axis at -8 making the c value = -8. Next to calculate the gradient, m, we can tak...

Show that (x+1)(x+2)(x+3) can be written as ax^3+bx^2+cx+d

Start by multiplying any 2 brackets together: (x + 1)(x + 2): Split the 1st bracket: x(x+2) + 1(x+2) = x^2 + 2x + x + 2 = x^2 + 3x + 2 Then multiply that answer with the last bracket: (x + 3)(x^2 + 3x + 2...
