These are two really useful rules for differentiating functions. We use the chain rule when differentiating a 'function of a function', like f(g(x)) in general. We use the product rule when differentiatin...

For the 1st part of the question: use the double angle formula to rewrite cos(2x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x). Then use the basic identity to write cos^2(x) = 1-sin^2(x), hence cos(2x) = 1-2sin^2(x). Plug the r...

I like to address this question by using similar fractions. That is to say x/y=2x/2y X over y is the same as 2x over 2y In this example we are asked what the full price of the dress is, as in what 100% of...

General rule for any right angled triangle: a^2+b^2=c^2, with a and b being the shorter sides and c being the hypotenuse (the longest side). Using the equation: a=7 and b = 11 and c=hypotenuse we want to ...

(1) Get rid of the fraction by multiply both sides by (4-x), we now have y(4-x)=3x+5. (2) Expand any brackets, so 4y-py=3x+5. (3) Rearrange to get all the x to one side: 4y-5=3x+px. (4) Factorise x becaus...
