If we have an equation for a line, it follows a certain shape when put it on Cartesian axes. If we wish to find the value of the gradient of the graph at a certain coordinate, we can use differentiation t...

We can find out whether lines are perpendicular by comparing their gradients. Each gradient should be the negative reciprocal of the other - for example, 3/2 and -2/3, or 4 and -1/4. (Writing the number a...

Here is an example of integration where you would use the chain rule. You would begin by integrating 3sin(x) to get -3cos(x) and then cos(2x) to get 1/2sin(2x). This is because whatever is multiplied by t...

The first thing you should always do when approaching questions like this is to get the numbers on one side and the letters on the other. This makes the equation simpler and helps you to solve it. By addi...
