in full
(a) in full
Answer (1)
(1)
(x + 7)(x - 6) (1)

(b) Hence solve x2 + x - 42 = 0.

(b) x = - 7 
(1)

x=6 (1)

2) Solve p2 + 9p + 14 = 0

(p + 2)(p + 7) 
(1)

p = - 2, p = - 7 (1)

3) Solve h2 + 9h + 2 = 8h + 58

h2 + h - 56 = 0 
(1)

(h + 8)(h - 7) 
(1)

h = - 8, h = 7 (1)

4)

Below is a cuboid. The volume of the cuboid


is 1000cm3.

(a) Show that 3x2 - 20x - 100 = 0.

(a) 10x(3x - 20) = 1000


(1)

30x2 - 200x - 1000 = 0


(1)

3x2 - 20x - 100 = 0 (1)

(b) Solve 3x2 - 20x - 100 = 0. To find x, the length (b) (1)

of the cuboid.

(3x + 10)(3x - 10) = 0 


(1)

x = 10 

(1)
Note: x = -10 is not a reasonable
