1. Solve the following simultaneous equations.

2 2
4 x +3 xy + y =8
xy +4=0

2. The function f is defined, for all real x, by f (x)=13− 4 x −2 x2 .

(a) Write f ( x) in the form a+ b ¿, where a, b and c are constants.
(b) Hence write down the range of f.

3. Write √ p (q r ) in the form pa q b r c , where a, b and c are constants.

(b) Write p(x ) as the product of three linear factors and hence solve p( x )=0.

5. Solve the following inequalities.

(a) |3 x +2|>8+ x
(b) (2 x −3)( x +2)<4

6. Solve the following equations.

(a) |3 x − 5|=|x+ 2|
(b) |4 x − 1| + |x +2|=10
