Take any polynomial, eg/ y=x 3 + 1 / 2 x 2 -3x+9. Then dy / dx =3x , +x-3, in this case. This is because, when deriving in this sense, you take each term in x, multiply it by its index, and reduce that index...

Take any quadratic equation, eg/ 3x 2 +4x-2=5 , and rearrange to equal 0 , ie/ 3x 2 +4x-7=0 (if you have an expression, ie/ there is no equals sign, then simply equate the expression to 0 ). Now, we use the ...

If body temperature is too high: Capillaries dilate, increasing the blood supply to the skin and allowing heat to be lost from the body by radiation. If body temperature is too low: Capillaries constrict, re...

For any right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is the sum of the square of the remaining two sides.

A mole is simply a unit of measurement of any substance that contains as many atoms as there are in 12 grams of Carbon-12. Why Carbon-12? Carbon-12 is the standard by which we compare the mass of any other m...
