Find the value of f(x)

The function f(x) is defined as f(x) = 3x^2 - 2x + 5. Find the value of x when f(x) = 0.

Solve the simultaneous equations.

Given that x and y are positive integers, solve the simultaneous equations: 3^x * 2^y = 72 3^(x-1) * 2^(y+1) = 48

Find the value of k and solve the equation

A function f(x) is defined as f(x) = 2^x + k, where k is a constant. The function passes through the point (4, 40). Find the value of k. For this value of k, solve the equation f(x) = 3^x.

Solve the quadratic

Solve the quadratic 3x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0

What value equals zero

Given the function f(x) = 2x²-5x+3, for what values of x does f(x) equal zero.

What are the dimensions of the rectangle

A rectangle has a length that is 3 cm more than its width. If the area of the rectangle is 40 cm^2, find the dimensions of the rectangle. Let the width of the rectangle be x cm.

What is the length of BC

The diagram shows a trapezium ABCD with AB parallel to DC. E is a point on AD such that DE is perpendicular to DC. The length of AD is x cm and the length of DE is y cm. Given that: The area of triangle AED is x²/4 The area of the trapezium ABCD is x² + 16cm^2 Find an expression for the length of BC in terms of x
