When presented with a simultaneous equation, you need to find out the values of the letters (commonly x and y). You might be given two equations such as: a) 2x + 4y = 6, and b) -4x - 3y = 3. The first thi...

Complete the square:x²+4x gives (x+2)²-4y²+2y gives (y+1)² -1Therefore,(x+2)²-4+(y+1)² -1=20Rearranging gives:(x+2)²+(y+1)^...

The question is asking for the range of x values that satisfies the inequality. First rearrange the equation to form a quadratic: x² – x – 6 < 0. Factorise the quadratic to find x-intercepts...

We will set the answer layout first by forming 2 brackets. (x+a)(x+b)=0We then look at the signs used, particularly negative signs. In this question, there is a minus sign before the 4.This means that one...

Finding the solutions to trig equations begins in a very similar way to when we do it at GCSE. We start with:cos(2x) = 2^-1/2 0 <= x <=piand correct our range, as we are interested in 2x n...
