Express \(3x^{2} - 6x + 10\) in the form \(a(x - b)^{2} + c\), where a, b and c are integers. Hence state the minimum value of \(3x^{2} - 6x + 10\) and the v...

The gradient function of \(y = ax^{2} + bx + c\) is \(8x + 4\). If the function has a minimum value of 1, find the values of a, b and c.

Simplify \(^{n + 1}C_{4} - ^{n - 1}C_{4}\) = \(\frac{(n + 1)!}{4! (n - 3)!} - \frac{(n - 1)!}{4! (n - 5)!}\) = \(\frac{(n + 1)(n)(n - 1)(n - 2)(n - 3)!}{4! (...

Write down the first three terms of the binomial expansion \((1 + ax)^{n}\) in ascending powers of x. If the coefficients of x and x\(^{2}\) are 2 and \(\fra...

The twenty-first term of an Arithmetic Progression is \(5\frac{1}{2}\) and the sum of the first twenty-one terms is \(94\frac{1}{2}\). Find the : (a) first t...
