1. Factorise these expressions.

a) 2𝑥 − 8 b) 18 + 4𝑥 c) 9𝑛 − 6

d) 𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 e) 4𝑝 − 𝑝2 f) 𝑎2 + 2𝑎𝑏

g) 6𝑚𝑛 + 9𝑛𝑝 h) 12𝑎𝑏 − 3𝑎𝑐

2. Simplify each fraction by cancelling as much as possible.

8𝑠𝑡 4ℎ2 𝑘 6𝑥𝑦𝑧
a) b) c)
2𝑡 6ℎ 12𝑥𝑧 2

3. Add or subtract these fraction.

𝑦 𝑦 5𝑐 3𝑑 8𝑎 5
a) +3= b) − = c) +6=
5 2 5 9

4. If 𝑉 = 𝐸 + 𝑅𝐼, find 𝐸 when 𝑉 = 40, 𝑅 = 8 and 𝐼 = 2

5. The energy absorbed by a resistor an electrical circuit is given by the formula 𝐸 = 𝑅𝐼 2.

Make 𝐼 the subject of the formula. Then find the value of 𝐼 when 𝐸 = 100 and 𝑅 = 4.
