find the roots of the equation 7x^2+11x-2=0 in exact form

since the values are too difficult to calculate from factorising, we use the quadratic formula ((-b)±(b^2-4ac)^(1/2))/(2a).putting the values in as (ax^2+bx+c=0) we find the roots in exact form are;(-11+(177)^(1/2))/14and (-11-(177)^(1/2))/14

Jack has 20 sweets. Will also has 20 sweets. Jack gives Will x sweets. Jack then eats 5 of his sweets. Will then eats half of his sweets. Write expressions for the number of sweets Jack and Will now have.


Use factorisation to simplify the following expression (x^2-9)/(x^2-4x+3)


Solve: 3^(x^2-5x+2)=9^(x+1)


Solve the simultaneous equations: 3x + 4y = 5 , 2x - 3y = 9
