sub x = 0 to see where it crosses x value y = (0)^2 - 8(0) + 6 = 6
f(x-4) - 10 = (x-4)^2 - 10 <-- 10 units down

f(x-4) = (x-4)^2 <-- 4 units right parallel to x axis
let f(x) = x^2
y = x^2 - 8x + 6 => y = (x-4)^2 -16 + 6 => y = (x-4)^2 -10

Roots and the discriminant of a quadratic equation

ax^2 + bx + c = 0 ====> x = -b#b^2 - 4ac

Example 1

Example 1
If p = 2x^3 - 5x +1 , q = x^4 - x , write in descending powers of x: i) p-q ii) pq
i) p-q = 2x^3 - 5x + 1 - (x^4 - x) = 2x^3 - 5x + 1 - x^4 + x = - x^4 + 2x^3 - 4x + 1

Inequalities
if dividing by a negative number, reverse the inequality so it is true..

e.g. 2 < 6 ===> (divide by -2) ===> -1 > -3
if multiplying by a negative number, reverse the inequality for it to be true...
e.g 2 < 6 ===> (multiply by -2) ===> -4 > -12
Series... 12 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 25 ==> sigma notation just means add

rth term in a sequence = 12/r 1st term => r = 1 => 12/1 = 12 2nd term => r = 2 => 12/2 = 6 3rd
term => r = 3 => 12/3 = 4 4th term => r = 4 => 12/4 = 3

Exam question
Write down the first five terms in the sequence Un+1 = 3Un^2 - 9 where U1 is 2.
when n = 1 => U2 = 2(U1)^2 - 9 = 3(2)^2 - 9 = 3 when n = 2 => U3 = 2(U2)^2 - 9 = 3(3)^2 - 9
= 18 when n = 3 => U4 = 2(U3)^2 - 9 = 3(18)^2 - 9 = 963 when n = 4 => U5 = 2(U4)^2 - 9 =
3(963)^2 - 9 = 2782098
