In this question, we have to find the roots of f(x) or, in other words, its zeros. This means that we have to find all of the values of x for which f(x)=0. Therefore, the first step is to write down our e...

Let us look at an example so we can see what is going on as we go through the method. Be cautious of just memorising the method; understanding it will make your life far easier.

Q: x² + ...

Firstly we need to think about what facts we need to know about a line in order to write it's equation. Line equations are usually written in the form y= mx+c, which means that for any points x and y (x,y...

Find from student what the first step is (get a or b in terms of the other).  

a = 2.8 x10^5 = 0.28x10^6

a + b = (0.28 + 1.6) x 10^6

= 1.88 x10^6

ii)

Know that a^x x b^y...

Rearranging equations to find x.

The first thing to do is to look at the 3. To 'get rid' of the 3 from the left we need to minus 3. Remember we must do the same to both sides so we also minus 3 fro...
