fist of all you rearrange the equation so you have the x in one side so the equation would look like this: 5x+4x = 1, then you add up the x´s and divide both sides by 9 so the solution would be x= 1/9

One of the easiest ways to find a minimum/ maximum point is using differentiation.

The derivative of the function f(x) is usually written as dy/dx or f'(x) and is essentially a function that tells ...

For a quadratic equation ax^2 +bx +c = 0 with equal roots we know the discriminant b^2-4ac must equal 0. From our equation we have a=1, b=4k and c=2(k+1) so using b^2-4ac = 0 we have (4k)^2 -412(...

That was always my biggest problem with my GCSE maths, I would get excited when I thought I knew what I was doing then slip up with silly mistakes. One of the best ways I found, after checking over at the...

Here, we must first rearrange our equation so all x terms are on one side and all y terms are on the other. Multiplying both sides by dx and diving both by y^(1/2) gives us y^(-1/2)dy = sin(x/2)dx, which ...
