Sample questions
Real questions taken from the Pearson Edexcel question bank, shown with the working learners see after answering.
Expand: (x + 4)(x − 2).
- x² + 2x − 8
- x² − 2x − 8
- x² + 6x − 8
- x² + 2x + 8
Working: x² − 2x + 4x − 8 = x² + 2x − 8.
Expand and simplify: (x + 3)(x − 5)
- x² − 2x − 15
- x² + 2x − 15
- x² − 15x − 2
- x² − 8x + 15
Working: x² − 5x + 3x − 15 = x² − 2x − 15.
