f(x) = (x + 1)^2 and g(x) = 2(x - 1) Show that gf(x) = 2x(x + 2)

For this question, as we are looking for gf(x) so we first need to plug in our formula for f(x) into the g(x) formula, giving us: 2((x+1)^2 - 1) We can then expand our squared bracket to get: 2(x^2 + 2x + 1 ...

y is inversely proportional to x. When y = 2, x = 3. Work out the value of y when x = 18.

We have that y is inversely proportional to x, which we write mathematically as y ∝ 1/ x. We need to be able to solve this, so we re-write this expression as an equations, y = k/x, where k is the constant of...

How do I solve the simultaneous equations 3x+2y=17, 4x-y=30?

Lets number the equations: 1) 3x + 2y = 17 2) 4x - y = 30If we double equation 2) we will get matching y coefficients so:8x - 2y = 60 if we rearrange this to be 8x-60 = 2y Then if we put these together: 3x +...
