The first step with any differentiation question is to identify which variable you are differentiating with respect to. In this case the variable is x, so we know we're looking to differentiate each term ...

15 can be rewritten as 3*5, so our factorisation must be in the form (x ? 3)(x ? 5). To determine the signs inside the brackets we need to find a way to make -8 from 3 and 5. This is done with -8=-5-3, so...

The light-independent reaction (Calvin cycle) takes place in the absence of light. Firstly, CO2 combines with ribulose biphosphate (RuBP) to produce two molecules of glycerate-3-phosphate (GP). GP is redu...

We start with aluminium (Al). Al conducts electricity in both solid and molten states, this is because Al has metallic bonding between fixed positive Al^(3+) ions and delocalised electrons. The delocalise...
