Expanding something out like (x+2)(x+3) crops up everywhere in maths. Therefore it's a very important skill to develop.There are many different ways of looking at it - smily faces, rainbows, claws - to na...

Easy! We first consider which number is in the square root. Then we look at it's factors:- if any of factors are square we can immediately take their root out of the overall square root. Once all the squa...

Differentiation is a relatively easy process once you learn the basic method. The basic rule is, you multiply the coefficient of x by the exponent, which becomes the new coefficient, and then reduce th...

Lots and lots of past paper questions! Any other questions as well really. When it comes to maths, practice makes perfect. Every time that you answer questions from a specific topic, you develop an extra ...

An example of a pair of simultaneous equations is as follows:
4x + 3y = 10    (1) and
2x - 3y = 14    (2)
Now to solve these equations we can simply add them and solve for x, then sub that ...
