Hey guys can you help me out with some questions the ones in green are top priority ( so can you help me with these first) then the blue


a)Factorise Completely 8x^4 – 64x
b)Simplify √48 - √27 +√3
c)If x=2^2 and y=3^4,express 4^6x27^8 in terns of x and y.
d)Solve the quadratic equation x – 8x – 9 = 0 by completing the square. Give your answer in exact form.
e)…. | 3^x for x > 2
f(x)| √4-x^2 for -2≤x≤2
… .-(2+x) for x < -2

f)The roots of the quadratic equation 4x^2 + 9x + 5=0
i)
α+β
ii) α β
iii) α -1 + β-1
iv) α2β + αβ2

g)Simplify Cos^2 A Tan2 A + Cos^2 A

(can you please show working)

Thank You in advanced
Marcquelle :)

If x=2^2 and y=3^4,express 4^6x27^8 in terns of x and y.

46.278

= (22)6.(33)8
= x6.324
= x6.34x6
= x6.(34)6
= x6.y6
= (xy)6

b)√48 - √27 +√3
=4
√3 -3√3 + √3
=2
√3

f) (i)
α+β = -b/a = -9/4
(ii)
α β = c/a = 5/4

(iii)
α -1 + β-1 =α + β -2 = -9/4 -2 = -17/4

iv) α^2β + αβ^2 = α β(α + β) = (5/4)(-9/4) = -45/16

a)Factorise Completely 8x^4 – 64x
8x(x^3-8)=8x(x-2)(x^2+2x+4)

c)If x=2^2 and y=3^4,express 4^6x27^8 in terns of x and y.

4^6=2^12=x^6
27^8=3^24=y^6
so its x^6 x y^6
d)Solve the quadratic equation x – 8x – 9 = 0 by completing the square. Give your answer in exact form.

x-8x-9+16=16
(x-4)^2-9=16
(x-4)^2=25
x-4=5 or x-4=-5
x=9 or -1

I think you mean:
Cos^2 A Tan^2 A + Cos^2 A
=Cos^2 A (Sin^2 A/Cos^2 A) + Cos^2 A
=Sin^2 A + Cos^2 A
=1
