A sweet is modelled as a sphere of radius 10mm and is sucked. After five minutes, the radius has decreased to 7mm. The rate of decrease of the radius is inversely proportional to the square of the radius. How long does it take for the sweet to dissolve?

dr/dt propto -1/r^2 and integrate to find equation linking radius and time with boundary conditions. Set r = 0, answer is 7mins 37 seconds.

Show that ((sqrt(18)+sqrt(2))^2)/(sqrt(8)-2) can be written in the form a(b + 2) where a and b are integers.

First we expand the brackets on the numerator and collect the terms together. We need to get rid of the square root term on the denominator, and we do this by multiplying the numerator and denominator by ...
