Using FOIL to expand the brackets we get 9 - 6 root5 + 12 root5 + 8*root5^2 Square rooting then squaring a number cancels out, so we are left with 8*5 or 40 for the last term. Simplify to give 9 + 6*root5 + ...

Step 1 Collect x terms on one side (here we subtract 3x from both sides to give 2x on the left, and 0x, on the right) Step 2 Collect the non x terms on theother side (here we add 4 to both sides to give 0 on...

A baby can either be a boy or a girl, so there are only two possible outcomes. This means that the probability of the next baby being born a boy is 1 out of the 2 outcomes. This also can be written as 0.5 as...

using the method, what two numbers multiply to create -1 and add to make 0 -1 must be 1 x -1 therefore answer is (x+1)(x-1) - is it clear how the single x value is cancelled out? x^2 +x -1 -x = x^2 -1

AB 2 = (1 - 7) 2 + (6 + 2) 2 = 36 + 64 = 100 If AB 2 = 100 then AB = 10
