Hi


Please help.

Secondary Two Maths.

Factorise

1)2r^2-5r-3

Expand and simplify the following expressions
1)(a+b)^2 - (a-b)^2

2)(x+2y)(x-6y)- (x-3y)(x-y)

TIA

This is basic algebra which is taught in Sec 1. Hope you understand the steps.

1)2r^2-5r-3
= (2r+1) (r-3)

Note : for the 2 qns below, since outside bracket the sign is \"-\", when you remove bracket you must change the sign of all terms inside the bracket

2)(a+b)^2 - (a-b)^2
Use (a + b) ^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
Use (a − b) ^2 = a ^2 − 2ab + b ^2

(a+b)^2 - (a-b)^2
= a^2 + 2ab + b^2 – (a ^2 − 2ab + b ^2)
= a^2 + 2ab + b^2 – a ^2 + 2ab - b ^2
= 4ab

3)(x+2y)(x-6y)- (x-3y)(x-y)
= x^2 -6xy+2xy-12y^2 – [x^2 –xy-3xy+3y^2 ]
= x^2 -6xy+2xy-12y^2 – x^2 +xy + 3xy -3y^2
= -15y^2

Thanks, btw, could u please explain me[/quote]Hi, median is the middle mark. Assuming you take 2.5 as a mark on it's own, the number of students who got 0, 1, 2, and 2.5 is a total of 7. Then because you need 2.5 to be the number in the middle, the number of people who got 3 marks, 4 marks and the 2.5 mark has also to be equal to 7. Therefore, 7 -1 -1 = 5.

To double check, you can add up all the values (2+1+3+1+5) = 12 and then +1 = 13 divided by 2 to find the median, which is 2.5.

Find Mean, median and mode of the distribution

Mean: Add everything up, divide by number of pupils.
Median: Find the middle number, just add all the pupils + 1 divided by 2.
Mode: The one with the most number of pupils.

Please try the questions first at least before just posting without even attempting ._. Mode is the easiest thing to find, and so is mean.
