= 0.7 + (0.85 x 0.3)= 0.7 + 0.255= 0....

Use the crab claw method to expand the bracket. Draw two lines above the equation from the 2X, one to the 3X and one to the -1. Draw another two lines below the equation from the +3, one to the 3X and one...

Factorise into (x-1)(x-2) = 0 to find that x = 1 or x = 2

finding the roots, means to find the coordinates at which the curve intersects the X axis. At first look you may notice that each function in the equation is divisible by 2, you can do this to make solvin...

First label the triangle to show the opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse. Then you can use SOHCAHTOA to determine which trig function is needed. If you need to work out the opposite you use the sin function...
