Shape ABCD is a parallelogram. Y is the mid-point of AB and Z is on BC such that BZ=1/2ZC. Given that AB=a and BC=b, describe, in terms of a and b: a) AC b)CY c)YZ

a) AC = a + b

b) CY = -b -1/2a 

c) YZ = 1/2a + 1/3b

Find the value of x when 2x^2 - x - 6 = 0


Jo wants to work out the solutions of x^2 + 3x – 5 = 0 She says, ‘‘The solutions cannot be worked out because x^2 + 3x – 5 does not factorise to (x + a)(x + b) where a and b are integers.’’ Is Jo correct?


Simultaneously solve these equations 3x+y=7 and 3x-y=5


A)Write x^2 – 8x + 25 in the form (x – a)^ 2 + b. (B) Write down the coordinates of the turning point of the graph of y = x2 – 8x + 25. (C)Hence describe the single transformation which maps the graph of y = x2 onto the graph of y = x2 – 8x + 25.
