The equation (t – 1)x^2 + 4x + (t – 5) = 0, where t is a constant has no real roots. Show that t satisfies t2–6t+1>0

This is a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx +c, where (t-1)=a 4=b . (t-5)=0 Therefore if there are no real roots, you get that b^2-4ac<0. (using the quadratic formula)

First plug in valu...

Question 3 on the OCR MEI C1 June 2015 paper. Evaluate the following. (i) 200^0 (ii) (9/25)^(-1/2)

For both parts you have to remember some of the properties of powers. Rule 1: x^0 = 1. Rule 2: x^(-n) = 1/(x^n). Rule 3: x^(1/n) = n-th root of x. For part (i) we can use rule 1 to see that 200^0 = 0. For...
