NCEA 91027 - MCAT Merit workshop Question 1
Question 1 from the NCEA 91027 - MCAT Merit workshop. Here we look at a quadratic algebra equation that first needs rearranging and then factorising to solve.
-
NCEA 91027 - MCAT Merit workshop Question 2
Question 2 from the NCEA 91027 - MCAT Merit workshop. Here we look at solving an algebra equation which has the variable as a power.
-
NCEA 91027 - MCAT Merit workshop Question 3
Question 3 from the NCEA 91027 - MCAT Merit workshop. Here we look at a quadratic algebra equation that needs to be solved by making y=0. Once the values for x have been found we need to look at the range of values that answer the question (inequalities).
