Given the function f(x)=ax^2+bx+c, we are given that it has x-intercepts at (0,0) and (8,0) and a tangent with slope=16 at the point x=2. Find the value of a,b, and c.

Firstly, to begin this problem we must think of the best way to substitute the given values into the formula. For a start, we are given the tangent at x=2. In other words, this is equal to the derivative at ...

Factorise: 3x^2 - 9x - 30

The first think you can do is look to see if all of your terms can be divided by a common factor. In this case it is 3, leaving you with 3(x^2 - 3x - 10). This can be factorised further to produce something ...
