Explanation

f(1 - x) = (1 - x)² + 3(1 - x) = 1 - 2x + x² + 3 - 3x = x² - 5x + 4  

f(x) = x² + 3x  

f(1 - x) - f(x) = (x² - 5x + 4) - (x² + 3x) = -8x + 4 = 4(1 - 2x)

Explanation

y ∝ 1/x → y = k/x  

When x = 3, y = 15:  

15 = k/3 → k = 45  

So y = 45/x  

When y = 5:  

5 = 45/x → x = 45/5 = 9

Explanation

(x + 2)/(x - 2) = 2, x ≠ 2

x + 2 = 2(x - 2)  

x + 2 = 2x - 4  

2 + 4 = 2x - x  

6 = x

Explanation

Original: x² - 4x + 3 = 0  

Roots: x = 1, x = 3

Square the roots: 1² = 1, 3² = 9

New equation with roots 1 and 9:  

(x - 1)(x - 9) = x² - 10x + 9 = 0

Explanation

Let roots be α and β. For x² - px + 20:  

Sum = α + β = p  

Product = αβ = 20  

Given: |α - β| = 1  

Use (α + β)² = (α - β)² + 4αβ  

p² = 1² + 4(20) = 1 + 80 = 81  

p = ±9
