A quadratic equation is an equation that looks like: x 2 + 4x - 2 = 0. The general form of this is written as ax 2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are all numbers, and x is our unknown variable. In the exampl...

y = 4x^3 + 7 x Recall: to differentiate any function of the form y = x^n dy/dx = y' = n x^(n-1) Hence if y = 4x^3 + 7x dy/dx = 4 ( 3x^3 -1) + 7x^(1-1) = 12 x^2 + 7

First of all look at the question: make sure you understand all the key words and that you know exactly what you are being asked. Then 1) give a definition of how you understand these key words 2) take a sta...

For example: 5x +25 In order to factorise we need to find a common factor for both '5x' and '25'. This factor gets taken outside of the brackets. For this example the common factor is 5. Because you can divi...

Given, 8x - 8 = 2x + 10 Solution: To solve this kind of problem, the first step is to always collect the like terms together i.e. Take the terms with x to one side of the equal sign and the numbers to the ot...
