Firstly, I would explain to the student what exactly the question is asking you to do. When solving an equation we are finding the value of x. I would get the student to read the equation aloud, starting ...

The integral of x^x can be solved by taking logarithms of the formula and getting xln(x) then using integration by parts it is given than u=ln(x) and dv=x therefore u'=1/x and v=(x^2)/2

using uv-(i...

The first step with any differentiation question is to identify which variable you are differentiating with respect to. In this case the variable is x, so we know we're looking to differentiate each term ...

15 can be rewritten as 3*5, so our factorisation must be in the form (x ? 3)(x ? 5). To determine the signs inside the brackets we need to find a way to make -8 from 3 and 5. This is done with -8=-5-3, so...

The quadratic formula is (-b±sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a where a is the coefficient of the x^2 term, b is the coefficient of the x term and c is the number. So, in this case a=5, b=-9 and c=4. Substitute this into ...
