To find the turning points of a curve one must find the values of x which satisfy dy/dx = 0. To further determine what type of turning point this is you need to compute the second derivative with respect ...

The 2 equations are: 1) x² + y² = 29 2) y-x=3 In this kind of simultaneous equation, you cannot take it away from each other. Instead, you need to substitue. To do so, rearrange the ...

To explain this question, I would first draw a digram of a circle. Then I woud add a chord and create triangles with vrtices at the circumference of the circle which all have the chord as a base. Next, I ...

x² +3x -4. (x + a) (x - b) x has no co-efficient so each is 1 x.  next find two numbers with a product of -4 and a sum of +3.  cannot be 2,2 as these numbers have a sum of -4, 0 or +...

To put this equation into partial fractions we need to consider it in the form: (5x + 4)/(x +2)(x - 1) = A/(x + 2) + B/(x - 1) where A and B are numbers we are trying to find. To do this we need to multip...
