  3. Map one polygon onto the graph to estimate the distance travelled between 0 and 4 seconds. ___ metres.
  4. Map two polygons onto the graph to estimate the distance travelled between 0 and 8 seconds. Give your answer to 1 d.p. ___ metres.
  5. Fully factorise 15ab-9abc+3a^2
  6. What are the common factors in this calculation? {1\over4}(3+7)\times{h}+{1\over4}(7+11)\times{h}+{1\over4}(11+20)\times{h}
  7. To be more efficient, before calculating {1\over2}(3+7)\times{5}+{1\over2}(7+11)\times{5}+{1\over2}(11+20)\times{5} we could __________ and __________.
