Solving a Quadratic Inequality

The mathematical solution explains how to solve the quadratic inequality 3x[sup]2[/sup] – 10x ≥ 8 by forming, and finding the roots of, the quadratic equation 3x[sup]2[/sup] – 10x - 8 = 0. This equation is solved by factorisation. The curve y = 3x[sup]2[/sup] – 10x - 8 is then sketched and the regions of x for...

Sketching the Graph of a Cubic and Transformations Thereof

The mathematical solution explains how to sketch the graph of a quadratic function given one of the roots of the equation. The factor theorem is used to express the function as a product of three linear factors and hence find all three roots. The general shape of the graph can then be determined. The...

Finding the Area Bounded Between the x Axis and a Parabola

Given a quadratic graph which cuts the x axis at two points, the mathematical solution explains how to find the area bounded between the curve and the x axis. The points of intersection with the x axis are located by equating the function to zero, factorising and solving the resulting equation. The required...

Using Trig Identities to Solve a Quadratic in Sin x

The mathematical solution explains how to use the identity sin2x + cos2x≡ 1 to form a quadratic equation which can then be solved in a given range. The method of 'splitting the middle term' is used in order to help factorise the resulting quadratic in sin2x. The two resulting equations are then considered...
