Expand and simplify x(x+4)(x-5)

Apply FOIL (First, outside, inside, last): (x + 4)(x - 5) = x2 - 5x + 4x -20 = x2 - x -20 x(x + 4)(x - 5) = x( x2 - x -20 ) = x3 - x2- 20x

Explain why the points (0,8) do not lie on the line y= 4x+9 ? (3 marks)

To see if (0,8) lies on the line y, substitute 0 (the x coordinate) into y = 4x+9 so y=4(0)+9 y=4(0)+9 therefore y= 0+9 = 9since the output (9) is not the same as the respective coordinate (8), (0,8) d...
