Split it up into steps:

Step 1: Use compound angle trigonometric formula to re-write Rsin(θ + α)

Since generally sin(θ ± φ) = sinθcosφ ± cosθsinφ

Rsin(θ + α) = R(sinθcosα + cos...

The diagram shows the lamina shape.

To begin, divide the lamina into smaller sections and calculate the area. In this example, the lamina is best divided into sections A, B and C. Calculate the are...

The trick with this question is noticing the hidden quadratic as quartic equations are unsolvable at A-level.

Letting u=x^2 the question becomes u^2+2u-3=0 which most students would be able to solv...

Example.

" Solve the simultaneous equations

y + 4x + 1 = 0

y^2 + 5x^2 + 2x = 0 "

We can rearrange the first equation to something that we can substitute into the seco...

To find the integral of a function you must first incease the power of x by one then divide to coefficient by the new power. So, by increasing the powers first you get 3x^2 - x^(5/2) and then dividing by ...
