Firstly, rearrange the equation to group the 'x' terms together, and the 'y' terms together.x^2 + 6x + y^2 -8y = 24'Complete the square' on each of the x and y groups:(x + 3)^2 - 9 + (y - 4)^2 - 16 = 24Re...

Integration can be conceptually understood in 2 different ways. firstly it is the reverse process of differentiation (Indefinite integration). Secondly it is used to work out the area under a curve (Defin...

y = arcsin(x) implies sin(y) = x
Differentiating with respect to x gives: cos(y)*dy/dx = 1So: dy/dx = 1/cos(y)
Noting that cos(y) = sqrt(1 - sin^2(y)): dy/dx = 1/sqrt(1 - sin^2...

Myelination allows saltatory conduction to occur, which is when the impulse 'jumps' along the axon using the nodes of Ranvier. The myelin also acts as an electrical insulator.

method: complete the squares for (x^2 - 2x ) and ( y^2 + 14y ) using the formula (b/2)^2 (where the general equation is ax^2 + bx) so that the equation becomes ax^2 + bx ...
