Problem 14:
Abdoul stumbled across the following formula to solve the quadratic equation
in a foreign textbook.
Use this formula to solve the equation: .
Solve the equation again, using factorisation, to see if the formula works for this
equation.
Trying to derive this formula to prove that it always works, Abdoul got stuck along the
way. His attempt is shown below:

Problem 19:
After doing some research, a transport company has determined that the rate at which
petrol is consumed by one of its large carriers, travelling at an average speed of km per
hour, is given by:
Assume that the petrol costs R 4,00 per litre and the driver earns R 18,00 per hour of travel
time. Now deduce that the total cost, , in Rands, for a 2000 km trip is given by:
Problem 20:
Solve the following quadratic equations by either factorisation, completing the square or by
