Arrange the following decimals in order of size: 0.45, 1.09, 0.3, 0.08

There are 5 steps you can follow to make this sort of problem easier to handle:

1) Line up all of the values in a column with the decimal points under each other 

2) Ensure each value is the same length by filling in zeros

3) Ignore the decimal points and look at the values as if they were all whole numbers

4) Arrange in order of size

5) Put the decimal points and zeros at the front, back in

This would look like:

1-2) 0.45

       1.09

       0.30

       0.08

3) 45

   109

    30

    8

4) 8

    30

    45

    109

5) 0.08

    0.30

    0.45

    1.09

Step 5 shows the correct answer in ascending order from the smallest value at the top to the largest value at the bottom.

The point p lies on the curve with eqn x = (4y - sin(2y)^2, given that p has coordinates (p,π/2), p is a constant, a) find the exact value of p; the tangent to the curve at P cuts the y-axis at A, b) use calculus to find the coordinates of A.


Expand this bracket: 2(3a + 5)


A is the point with coordinates (5,8) and B is the point with coordinates (1,-2). Find the coordinates of the midpoint of AB.


Using long division, clearly showing your method, please calculate 1878 / 3
