    Challenging equations questions (I need working out please)

    a) Steve has a broken calculator. When just turned on, it displays 0. If the + key is pressed it adds 51. If the – key is pressed it subtracts 51. If the × key is pressed it adds 85 and if the ÷ key is pressed it subtracts 85. The other keys do not function. Steve turns the calculator on. What...

    Angles question

    No all they give us is that info. I got all angles, worked out angle PSR = 110 and angle PTQ = 125 but how can you find the angle PST. I have no clue all the answer says is 35 degrees

    Angles question

    In ΔPQR, ∠PQR = 70° and S and T are points on PQ and PR respectively, so that ∠RQT = 55° and ∠QRS = 40°. Show that ∠PST is 35°

    Differentiation questions

    so for part b) y'(x) = 2x+b when x = 3, the gradient is 5 So 5=2(3)+b 5=6 +b -1=b Sub x=3 and b = -1 into y=x^2+bx+c y=(3)^2+(-1)(3)+c y=6+c Then the second part y'(x) = 2x+b when x = 2, the gradient is 0...

    Differentiation questions

    a) Differentiate y=x^2+bx+c, and hence find b and c, given that the parabola is tangent to the x-axis at the point (5,0) b) Differentiate y=x^2+bx+c, and hence find b and c, when x =3 the gradient is 5, and x=2 is a zero.
