Let be the value of the painting in January 0. In January 0 the painting was worth. In January 0 the painting was worth 0. (. ) 0. So the percentage decrease in value between January 0 and January 0 was ( 0.) 00 %. So the newspaper was incorrect.

[ mark] An alternative method would be to notice that (n + ) appears as a factor of both parts and so can be taken out as a factor of the whole epression, i.e. (n + )[n(n + ) (n )(n + )]. The epression inside the square brackets can then be shown to simplify to give. The turning point of a graph written in the form y ( a) + b is at the point (a, b). The turning point is at (, ) so the curve must have the equation y ( ) + [ mark] Substituting y and k gives (k ) + [ mark] (k ) ± k [ mark] ± k So k or k [ mark] [ marks available in total as above] The equation could be solved by factorising or using the quadratic formula, but using the completed square form is simplest here.
