Start off with:x²+x=12Subtract 12 from both sides:x²+x-12=0Factorise:(x-3)(x+4)=0Solution is therefore:x=3 or x=-4

First factorise the equation : you need to find two value which multiply to give (4 x -6) = -24 and add to equal -5,these two numbers are -8 and 3. Then write the equation as follows:4x² - 8x...

Here we have to differentiate a constant raised to the power of a variable. To make it easier, let u=sinx and so our function can now be treated as y=a^u. Remembering that A = e^(LnA), a^u = e^(Ln(a^u)). ...

The word "area" should highlight that it is an integration question to the student. The interval asked for is (0,1/2) and so the curve should be integrated between that interval.The first task i...

When dealing with such a question, an expansion question, the first part of the equation to look at is the brackets.Looking at the question above, one can see that there are two pairs of brackets - it wou...
