1.Let a,b be the roots of the equation x^2 + px + q = 1 .........(*) where p and q are real constants.
Find, in terms of p and q,
(a) ( a^2 - b - 1)(b^2 - a - 1)
(b) If the square of one roots of (*) minus the other root equals 1,use (a) or otherwise ,to show that q^2 - 3(p - 1)q + ( p -1 )^2( p + 1 ) = 0 ..........(**).

1. The length and the width of a rectangle are x cm and y cm respectively.
a) The perimeter of the rectangle is 68 cm.
Write down an equation in x and y.
2(x + y) = 68

x + y = 34 -----(1)



b) Suppose its length is increased by 4cm and its width is decreased by 4cm.
i) Find, in terms of x and y, the new area of the rectangle.
new area = (x + 4)(y – 4)



ii)Find its original dimensions if the new area is reduced by 40 cm2.

xy - (x + 4)(y – 4) = 40

xy – xy + 4x – 4y +16 = 40

4x – 4y = 24

x – y = 6 -----(2)

(1)式加(2)式

2x = 40

x = 20cm

y = 30 – 6 = 14cm

所以這長方形的大小為 20cm * 14cm

面積是 280cm2
