Hi Mr Williams ,
Im not in your form but I am a bit stuck on my homework ,
If i want to find the area of a trapezium should I make it into two triangles and a square ?
Thankyou
Hi mr.Williams i am really confused.com ’cause on page1 excercise 1.1, sequences, question 6a, the book says the term to term rule (what is a term to term rule?) is x3 -1 but the numbers showing are 1,5….. and you have 2 fill in the rest but 1 x 3 = 3 3 – 1 = 2 and the next number on in the sequence is 5, so i don’t get how that can be? =0 =0 ????
Hi Mr Williams,
Im Kind of Stuck On What Position-Term Meens? So Should i Just Leave Question 5 Out Becouse Homework Is Due for Tomorrow.
Thnak You
Kassa, it means working out the value of the term by knowing what its position in the list is.
hi mr. willams
i was doing the homework on the computer, and i am on question 3b, i cant work out how to get the answer.
the question is…
how many red and blue triangles would there be in the 20th pattern?
hi
i am on the disk on the computer and stuck on q3b
on page 19
thank you
i tryed this many times and it is quite vage ,sorry but i need help really quickly as i need to go out soon and i need to go to bed
Alice,

JT

Hi
I’m a bit stuck on questions 5 and 6 on page 19 of the CD
Mr Willaiams
I’m sorry but I really don’t understand it I am leaving it out until you reply so plz don’t be cross if I can’t do it
8( (by the way it’s Q5 and Q6 on pg 19)
Thank you
Connie
Ok I’m going to leave it but I won’t log out just in case your there….. somewhere……..
Hi Connie,
Don’t panic!!! I have a text book so can help you – thought you were in the HW book which I don’t have.
n is the position number or term number: Imagine you have the sequence written out in a list and you number the terms according to their position ie the first term is no1, the second is no2 etc.
The rule is 15 – 8n which means 15 – 8 x position number
Now you should be able to work out what the values are for terms 1 to 5, and those answers will help you go back to answer part a.
In question 6, think of the mapping as being like a function machine: you put in an x value, the machine works out what x/6 is and then spits out the answer. The table gives you 3 values of x to put in and work out the answer, then it tells you 2 answers and you have to work out what x value was put in.
Hope that helps.

Thanx Mrs Tibble
(I was only panicking because this is revision for the test tommorrow)
Phew!
see you tomorrow
Connie
Chill out Connie!! It’s only a maths test – hardly a life or death situation
i dont really get q5 in the text book pg19 and i am really tired and i need to get into bed soon but this is revision for the test tomorrow!!! help
Ok I will, but my last one didn’t go so well (as you will remember!) and my mum would probably rather I didn’t get 57% again!
You’re still here though, so she clearly didn’t kill you lol!
Sian What is 15-8? now you will understand more
Connie
Hi Sian,

HELLOO RANDOM SIXTH-FORMER, I’VE KINDA FORGOTTEN HOW TO ADD FRACTIONS.PLEASSEEEEEEEE HELP.
;0 ;0 ;0 ;D
DON’T WORRY, I GOT IT!!!!!
OHOH, NOW I’M A REALLY CONFUZZLED. ERM IN 1/5 + 3/4 WELL LIKE THEN 5&4 BOTH GO INTO 20 SOO 5 GOES IN2 20 4TIMES, AND 4 GOES IN2 20 5TIMES, SO TAT WOULD BE 4/20 + 5/20 = 9/20,RIGHT???? WELL LIKE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE 1 AND THE 3 FROM 1/5 AND 3/5???? :0
SORRY AT THE END THAT SHOULD BE: WHAT HAPPENS TO THE 1/5 AND 3/4!!!
Keavy,
Firstly it’s Wednesday today so we’re back lol!
Re the fractions – when you form an equivalent fraction, you have to do the same thing to the top and bottom of it, otherwise it’s no longer the same fraction.
1/5 becomes 4/20 by multiplying top and bottom by 4, but 3/4 can’t be 5/20 because you have multiplied the bottom by 5 but you haven’t done that to the top.

PS Please do not SHOUT: it’s not acceptable or necessary.
