Conservation of momentum is the key principle always used in problems of these type. Here, it asks for the impulse, which is a force measured in Newtons, and it is defined as the change in momentum. F=m(v...

Firstly, implicitly differentiate the function to find dy/dx in terms of y and x: dy=dx = (-x-2y)/(2x+y). Secondly, set this equal to zero to obtain an expression of y in relation to x or vice versa: x=-2...

The general quadratic equation is ax^2+bx+c=0, now we need to Complete The Square, which allows us to have only one "x" term. First, divide the equation by "a", leaving us with x^2... ...

Before you start it is best to gather as much information as you can about the function. The most important things to find are any roots - as these will tell where the graph should cross the axis - and th...

Here we have an equation involving absolute values. As a general rule |a| = +a and |a| = -a. We can apply that to our RHS. In the first case we get that 3x + 4 = 3x - 11, however after we subtract 3x from...
