f'(x)=-2(3x+4)^(-3) * 3 = -6(3x+4)^(-3);
f''(x)= 18(3x+4)^(-4) * 3 = 54(3x+4)^(-4);
both found by using the chain rule for differentiation.

Then Maclaurin series up to x^2 is: f(x)=f(0)...

For SAQs (Short Answer Questions) in Paper 1, remember that they are worth 8 marks each. You can easily get at least 6 marks if you do the following. I will use the bullet point "Explain one study re...

To find the area of a triangle where the length of the base and perpendicular heights are not known, use the sine rule to find the area. This is: Area = 0.5 x a x b x sin(angle between lengths a and b) He...

At rest a nerve cell or fiber has more sodium (NA+) ions in the extracellular fluid and more potassium (K+) ions in the intracellular fluid. There are both NA+ and K+ ion channels in the membrane of the n...

Young's modulus = stress/strain. Stress = F/A Strain= e/l. Measure the length of a wire between 2 points, placing a marker at each. Also measure the diameter to calculate the cross sectional area of the w...
