If f(x) = x^2, draw the graph of y = f(x) + 3

We can first draw the graph of y = f(x) = x^2 which is a simple graph like this (whiteboard). Now looking at y = f(x) + 3, we can see that this is a translation by the vector [0 3]. Therefore we can tr...

solve x^2 + 5x +6 = 0

You can do this a couple of ways. The first is by using the quadratic equation shown below. Each letter corresponds to the the coefficient of different powers of x. A is the number in front of x^2 and b i...

For all values of x, f(x)=(x+1)^2 and g(x)=2(x-1). Show that gf(x)=2x(x+2)

The question is asking us to find gf(x).
When approaching this question, the first thing I tend to look for is what information we have that we can break down. In this case, I can immediately see tha...

Determine the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation x^2 + 6x + 8 = 0, and plot the graph of this function.

The graph has two distinct real roots (x=-4 and x = -2), which we can see by factorising the equation, which gives (x+4)(x+2) = 0. We can then plot the function y = x^2 + 6x + 8, first marking the roots o...
