How do you expand Double Brackets?


y is inversely proportional to d^2 and when d = 10, y = 4. d is directly proportional to x^2 and when x = 2, d = 24. Find a formula for y in terms of x. Give your answer in its simplest form.


The equation 5x^2 + px + q = 0, where p and q are constants, has roots t and t+4. Show that p^2 = 20q + 400.
