Using the quadratics formula find the two solutions to x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0.

x1 = (-b + (b2 - 4ac)1/2)/2a and x2 = (-b - (b2 - 4ac)1/2)/2a. So with the values a = 1, b = 3 and c = 2: x1 = (-3 + (32 <...

Starting with x^2+2x+1=0 use the method of factorising to solve for x.

x2+2x+1=0, (x+1)(x+1)=0, (x+1)2=0. So x=-1

How do you differentiate a function?

The differential of a function is defined by the expression: dy/dx = Lim(dx->0) of (f(x+dx)-f(x))/dx. For functions only involving powers of x, the differentioal can easily be calculated by timesing by...

Line AB, with equation: 3x + 2y - 1 = 0, intersects line CD, with equation 4x - 6y -10 = 0. Find the point, P, where the two lines intersect.

Let eqn. 1 be: 3x + 2y - 1 = 0  & Let eqn. 2 be: 4x - 6y -10 = 0

Multiply eqn. 1 by a factor of 3, and add the two eqautions together. (This eliminates y from the equation)

This gives: 9...

A straight line passes through the point (2,1) and has a gradient of 3. Find the co-ordinates of the points where this line intersects the axes

M=3

y1=1

x1=2

y-y1=m(x=x1)

y-1=3(x-2)

y-1=3(x-2)

y-1=3x-6

y=3x-6

at the x axis, y=0. 

‘Sub in to find the x co-rdinate:

0=3x-5
