We know that if we have a polinomial of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, then:sum of the roots = -b/a and product of the roots = c/a Therefore: t + (t + 4) = -p/5 and t(t + 4) = q/5 Therefore: 2t + 4 = -p...

For all simultaneous equations it is useful to number each one to keep your working clear and concise. In order to solve this we need to eliminate one of the variables (x or y) by manipulating the equatio...

5x + 3y = 27 (1)6x - 2y = 10 (2)Rearrange (1) to make x the subject.Subtracting - 3y from both sides gives5x = 27 - 3yDivide both sides by 5 givesx = (27 - 3y)/5Substitute (1) into (2) gives6(27 - 3y)/5 -...

To begin with we see that y=x³-9x is a positive cubic function, and therefore we know its general shape.The first step is to find the x interecepts. We do this by setting y=0 and solving the re...
