Challenge...
A man buys a bag of fruit for £4.45. It contains a pineapple, two apples, three bananas and four oranges. The following information is displayed at the fruit stall:
• 1 orange and 1 apple costs 80p• 2 oranges and 1 apple costs £1.30• 1 apple and 1 banana costs 55p
How much does the pineapple cost?

x2 + x = 9
What does this mean?
Why do I need to solve it?
How can I solve it?
What if I don’t know how to start the problem?

Trial and Improvement
Sometimes equations are too hard for us to solve (because they include a cubed expression, have more than one unknown etc)
In these cases, we use trial and improvement to find an estimate for the solution.

The equation x3 + x2 = 230has a solution between x = 5 and x = 6Use trial and improvement to find this solution.Give your answer correct to 1 decimal place.You must show ALL your working out.
4 marks

x3 + x2 = 230
To get full marks you must:a) try some answers between the two solutionsb) try some answers to a greater number of decimal places than the question asksc) prove beyond doubt that your answer is the
closest (by using midpoints!)
The answer lies between x = 5 and x = 6.

Use trial and improvement to find an approximate solution to
2x3 + x = 35
The answer lies between 2 and 3Give your answer to 1 decimal place

Try this one (grade A)
2x5 – 3x3 + x = 3.7xx
The answer lies between 1 and 4.
Give your answer to 1 decimal place.
