Solve by factorising or completing the square: x² + bx + c through to a > 1, a < 0 and hidden quadratics. Five difficulty levels, timed, click to reveal.
⚙️ WorksheetSolving Quadratics and Cubics Graphically
The graph of y = f(x), a quadratic or a cubic (choose, or mix), is drawn: read approximate solutions of f(x) = 0, then f(x) = a and f(x) = g(x) by drawing a line, then equations that must be rearranged to find the line to draw.…
