Check to see if the number in front (coefficient) of either the x's or y's is the same. In this case both the y's have the same coefficient so we do not need to make them the same.We are going to add the par...

A stationary point is defined as a point on the function where the gradient is zero, i.e f'(x) = 0 . To construct this equation we must differentiate the function, we would find f'(x) = 3x 2 +12x . The corre...

A quadratic equation has the form ax 2 + bx + c Our goal is to find values of x such that ax 2 + bx + c = 0These values of x are known as the "roots" of the quadratic. Exercise: Find the roots of x...

This problem is best solved using implicit differentiation and by tackling each side of the equation individually. First write down the problem as "y = x^x". Recalling that log rules can be used to...

The median is the middle number of a set of ordered numbers, i.e. halfway along. To find the median of the data set you should arrange the numbers into order, lowest to highest. Count equally from both ends ...
