How is that question Year 11? It contains complex numbers.
Nah it can still Yr 11 actually. You reject all those complex solutions cause you don't know what the square root of a negative is.

Just stupid for day 2

Can't be right since the answers should all be surds. Don't ever use decimals unless you absolutely have to. Also in an exam you'd have to prove that solving that resultant cubic with the substitutions you made actually solves the quartic (though, in an exam, you're not gonna get a quartic that needs the resultant cubic method of solving).

Cambridge is the norm for maths at the 2U and 3U level.

Fitzpatrick, provided you use the new version, is still a healthy substitute. But it's not as good with it's content.

Terry Lee is for at minimal high band 4 students

Really? Because none of the integration questions impress me.
