1. x² + 15 x + 50 = 0 (rearrange by adding 50 to both sides)

2. (x + 10)(x + 5) = 0 (factorise the quadratic equation)

3. x + 10 = 0 or x + 5 = 0 (for the a...

fg(x) = 2(cx+5) + c

= 2cx+10+c                           [1 mark]

fg(x) = 6x+d. fg(x) = 2cx+10+c

6x = 2cx and d = 10+c          [2 marks]

3 = c and therefore d = 13    [3 marks...

Y= mX + c, 'X' is the horizontal value on the axis, the input value. The 'm' represents the gradient of the line, figured out by the change in y divided by the change in x. The 'c' value is the y intercep...

If you were to factorise this quadratic to find out its roots, you would get:

(x+1)(x+2)

which gives us roots of -1 and -2.

Remember that roots are where the graph crosses the x-axis,...

x² + 8x = (x + 4)² - 16, so x² + 8x - 5 = (x + 4)² - 16 - 5 = (x + 4)² - 21, so then (x + 4)² - 21 = 0 (x + 4)² = 21 -----> ...
