  • A1–A4 · Expressions & Brackets

    What is the difference between an expression, an equation, a formula and an identity?

    Show the answerHide the answer

    Expression: terms with no equals sign (3x + 2). Equation: can be solved (3x + 2 = 11). Formula: links variables (A = πr²). Identity: true for every value (≡), e.g. 2(x + 1) ≡ 2x + 2.

  • A2, A5–A7 · Formulae & Proof

    Find v when u = 5, a = 3, t = 4 in v = u + at.

    Show the answerHide the answer

    v = 5 + 3 × 4 = 17

  • A11–A16 · Other Graphs

    What shape is the graph of a quadratic y = x² + bx + c?

    Show the answerHide the answer

    A U-shaped curve (parabola), symmetrical about a vertical line through its turning point. If the x² term is negative it's ∩-shaped.

  • A22 · Inequalities

    Solve 3x + 4 < 19.

    Show the answerHide the answer

    3x < 15, so x < 5.
