1. (a) Simplify , giving your answer in the form 𝑎 + 𝑏√3 a and b are rational numbers.
5+3√3
(2)
(b) Hence, or otherwise, solve the equation giving your answer in its simplest form

5𝑥 = 2√2 − 3√3 𝑥 (2)

(b) The function ℎ is defined as ℎ(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 − 5𝑥 2 + 6.

1 1
(i) Write ℎ(𝑥) in the form (𝑥 2 + 𝑎)(𝑥 2 + 𝑏), where 𝑎 and 𝑏 are constants. (2)

(ii) Hence, find the roots for ℎ(𝑥 ). (2)

3. Given that 𝑥 2 − 14𝑥 − 1 ≡ (𝑥 + 𝑎)2 + 𝑏 where a and b are constants.

(a) find the value of a and b. (2)

(b) Hence, find the roots of equation 𝑥 2 − 14𝑥 − 1 = 0. (2)

The equation 𝑥 2 − 14𝑥 + 𝑝 = 0 has equal roots.

(c) Find the value of 𝑝. (2)

(d) For this value, of p, sketch the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 − 14𝑥 + 𝑝, showing the coordinate of any points at

which the graph meets the coordinates axes. (3)

ALL THE BEST!
