The derivative of a function f(x) is a measure of how the function f changes as its variable x changes. You have already met an example of derivatives: the gradient, m,...

Sketching trigonometric graphs is all about working from the graphs you already know and seeing how they behave when added/multiplied/substracted from each other to sketch more complicated functions.

1. Divide everything in the brackets by 2.      2x+3 + (2x -1/2) =10

2. Collect like terms (collect 'x' terms and collect numbers).    2x + 2x + 3 -1/2 = 10

3. Simplif...

[1 -2; -5 -4] determinant = {1 * (-4)} - {-5 * (-2)} = -4 - 10 = -14

A quadratic equation is an equations of the form:   ax² + bx + c = 0 (1)  where a is not 0. The ways of finding the roots are:  quadratic formula, factorising, substituting, completing the squa...
