So we can always substitute the right terms into the quadratic formula. However, there might be a quicker way. Lets try and see if the quicker ways work.Firstly, we need to spot weather the difference of ...

The general approach to solving simultaneous equations is to replace the ‘y’s in one equation with ‘x’s, or the ‘x’s with ‘y’s.

In this case, we can first take the equation 5x + y = 4 and rear...

Firstly, we can take a look at the degree x's in each term. It seems like they share a common degree of 0. In other words, we will not be able to factor out the x's in the expression.Secondly, we need to ...

The general formula for a volume of rotation is pi times the integral of y^2. The first step is to square y. this can be done by squaring the first term, squaring the last term and finding twice the pr...

We start with 1/(√2 + 1) 

Normally with rationalising surd denominators we multiply the top and bottom of the fraction by the denominator. But this time we have a surd ADDED by a rational...
