The y=mx+c equation is for a straight line (also known as 'linear') graph.

The 'y' is representative of the y-value, 'm' represents the gradient (how s...

The first step is to make sure that the coefficient of x^2 is 1 by dividing all terms by a (where a equals the coefficient of x^2). Then we must write the quadratic e...

There are two ways you can take the derivative of a^x.
1) 
Let y = a^x  now we're trying to find dy/dx
2)
ln(y) = xln(a)  take logs of both sides and use log rules
3)
(dy/dx)...

In my experience the sure fire way to prove trig identities is by doing the following:
1) Assess the question e.g. is it obvious you're going to need a double angle or addition formula, can you see w...

There are a few different types of integration, the most common being Riemann integration.
Riemann integration allows you to find the area under the graph of a function between two points. Its...
