Solve the simultaneous equations: 2x+5y=25, x=y+2

using our second equation, we can see that x=y+2. Therefore we can sub x into the first equation. This will give us 2*(y+2)+5y=25. We can go ahead and expand the brackets, which gives us 2y+4+5y=25. We ca...

Given f(x): 2x^4 + ax^3 - 6x^2 + 10x - 84, and knowing 3 is a root of f(x), which is the value of a?

For this exercise we need to be aware of the factor theorem.The factor theorem states when f(c) = 0 then x - c is a factor of the polynomial f(x) and c is a root of f(x). Because we are told that one of t...

the first four terms in a sequence are 2, 6, 10, 14. what is the nth term? and what is the sum to n terms of the sequence?

the nth term formula is the sum of the first term (a) and the second to last term (n-1) * the common difference (d). so a + (n-1)d where a = 2 and d = 4 in this case is 2 + (n-1)4 = 4n - 2. the sum to...
