Quadratic Equations and Quadratic Functions
Please complete and hand in on Monday 18 September:
Solve by factorising:
1. x2 - 7x - 8 = 0
2. x2 + x - 12 = 0
3. 3x2 + 11x + 6 = 0
4. 10x2 - 9x - 7 = 0
Complete the square, sketch graphs showing line of symmetry and coordinates of max or min point:
5. y = x2 + 8x - 7
6. y = 3x2 - 15x + 8
7. y = -2x2 + 6x - 1
Solve using the quadratic formula giving roots to 3 sig fig:
8. 2x2 - 5x - 4 = 0
9. 3x2 + 8x + 4 = 0
10. State the values of the discriminants in Q8 and Q9

Quadratic Factorising and Learning to Study
For next Monday, please complete and self-mark from the solutions provided:
Also watch the second of Professor Stephen Chew's videos from the links below.
Becoming an Effective Learner
This advice contained in these 5 short videos can help you to improve your study skills in all your subjects at both A-level and at university. We will watch them in class and talk about them in September. However, I believe you need to watch them more than once to take all the advice on board.
Professor Stephen Chew is a cognitive psychologist from Samford University, Birmingham, Alabama. In 2011, he recorded five short videos (each 5 - 9 minutes long) to help students become more effective learners. They contain a whole range of dos and don'ts together with practical suggestions you can adopt to improve your learning. Below are direct links to each video.
