a) Rearrange equation into the form y = mx + c where m is the gradient and c is the y-axis intercept. Gradient AB = -3/5. b) The y-intercept is c which = 7/5. To find x-axis intercept we set y=0 and rearr...

Step 1: Find factors of the constant (The number with no x attached to it), In our case this is 2. The factors of 2 are: 1 & 2 and -1 & -2.

Step 2: The sum of the factors from step 1 must e...

1. The general formula of a quadratic is ax^2 + bx + c -> this is a quadratic 2) Factorise using common factor (=2) -> 2(x^2 + x - 12) = 0 3) Factorise the quadratic to (x + m)(x + n): the two nu...

1. Multiply both sides by 5: 3x + 8 > 10 x + 5
2. Move 3x to RHS by subtracting 3x from both sides: 8 > 7x + 5
3. Move 5 to LHS by subtracting 5 from both sides: 3 > 7x
4. Ma...

f(x) = (x+2)(x+2) When f(x) = 0, x = -2. f'(x) = 2x + 4 When f'(x) = 0, x = -2, and corresponds to the minimum point. Therefore, the sketch of the curve will be a U-shaped parabola which touches the x-axi...
