Calculate the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle when the other two sides measure 6cm and 9cm.

Pythagoras theorem which applies to right angled triangles is summarised by the following formula: c2= a2 + b2 where 'c' is the hypotenuse of the triangle, whilst 'a' and...

N sweets in a bag. 6 sweets are orange. The rest are yellow. Hannah takes a random sweet from the bag and eats it. She then takes another random sweet from the bag & eats it. The probability Hannah eats 2 orange sweets is 1/3. Show n^2 - n - 90 = 0.

It's a probability equation. The probability of getting an orange sweet the first time is 6/n. The probability of getting an orange sweet the second time is 5/n-1Times those together to get the probabilit...

Find x when: (2^x)(e^(3x+1))=10. Give your answer in the form (a + ln(b)) / (c + ln(d)) , where a,b,c,d are integers.

First notice x is currently written as a power of 2 and 3x + 1 is written as a power of e, so we are going to need to use some sort of log to start getting x on its own. You can take a clue from the quest...

The function f is defined for all real values of x as f(x) = c + 8x - x^2, where c is a constant. Given that the range of f is f(x) <= 19, find the value of c. Given instead that ff(2) = 8, find the possible values of c.

We know -x^2 has a maximum point of 0 at x=0, and -x^2 dominates the behaviour of f. We complete the square on this eqn, so we have f(x) = -(x - 4)^2 + 16 + c. We note that g(x) = -(x - 4)^2 has a maximum...

A curve has equation y = 4x^2 + 5x + 3. A line has equation y = x + 2. What is the value of x?

First you as both equations are = to y you can make them equal to eachother. 4x2 +5x +3 = x+ 2.Then you rearrange the equation to gather all the terms on one side and make the equati...
