See, one easy way to solve these type of questions is to first find out the half of the middle value.

For example im this case x^2-6x+10
half of 6 will be so (x-3)^2
now when you expand this you get x^2-3x-3x+9.
So now to get to the given question you have to add 1.
So p is 3 and q is 1.
snailey, I was about to answer that question. Anyways you did and thank you.

Thanks a lot snailey ! :D
But i was not able to understand half of 6 will be so (x-3)^2 <----- That part. :eek:

Can Anybody do a functions sum like f(x)=g(x) or explain it or something.
Thanks in Advance

Just substitute the equation given eg. f= 2+5x
f(3)
then ... f= 2+5 muliplied by 3 ..... which is = to 17.
ff(3) eg. 2+5x
then.. 2+5multipilied with 3 = 17 <---- that's f of 3.
ff(3) = ur last value ... 17 should be put in x's place
so ...... 2+5 multiplied by 17 = 87


(sorry if I over complicated it)

How many significant figures and decimal places should i write my answer to
for example 4250.52 should i just write 4250? and what about 6245994.592 should i just write 624600??
what about decimal places 0.624523 should i just write 0.625?

Hi, it will be on the first page. Read the instructions carefully before you start a test.

The Hemisphere question it asked for the volume and it asked for the surface area too so they solved the volume and they wanted the surface area as K what was your K
?

Yeah okay first thing there was a hemisphere picture and it said that the vol of the hemisphere is about 243(Pi) and it said that the Surface area is K and it gave the sphere surface area to be 4(ppi)r^2 and the vol to be 4/3(pi)r^3 so I didnt divide the surface area by two cause I thought the surface area of the hemisphere is 3(pi)r^2 and not 2(pi)r^2 so i dont know which one is right to use

Curved Surface Area of a Hemisphere is 2πr^2
Total Surface Area of a hemisphere is 3πr^2
