There are a range of methods commonly used for differentation, but my favoured method is as follows:E.g. Differentiate 3x^21) Separate into three separate parts - the Coefficient (the number at the front,...

Although differentiation is often taught in an abstract way, it's applications are virtually limitless. It's primary purpose is to determine the gradient of a line at a given point on a curve. Unlike with...

There is a simple trick to drawing the inverse of a given function. 

First, roughly sketch the original function. This means a sketch of the general shape of the curve with some key chara...

First, we must find the value of y when x = 2.

y = x³+4x+5 = (2)³+4(2)+5 = 21

Then we must find the gradient of the tangent line. This can be done by d...

ok. Well think about a square. What times what creates the area of a square? Yes the bottom one and side on. So which do you think will be useful to know to find the area of a rectangle? Yes the same! ...
