Solve the following equations x^2-2x+4=0, x^2+4x+1=0

x2-2x+4= (x-2)(x-2)=0  x=-2 (double root)  

x2+5x+1=0

x1,2= -5+_ (52-4(1)(1) )0.5/2 

x1=4.8     x2=-0.2 (to 1 d.p.)

A stationary ball starts rolling down a hill, and after 5s it reaches a speed of 12m/s. From here the ground levels off, and the ball continues at this speed for 3 more seconds. Plot this on a velocity-time diagram.


Solve the simultaneous equations: (1) x^2 + y^2 = 25 and (2) y - 3x = 13


Make y the subject of (y/x)+(2y/(x+4))=3


How do you expand out and simply brackets, like the following: (x-3)(x+4)?
