Since the equation shows a 6x^2, we know that in the brackets we must have either: (2x+a)(3x+b) or (6x+a)(x+b) However we know the last two numbers must multiply to make -3, hence a and b must be +1 and -3 r...

would start by asking what is 4 * 0.5 ? They might then work out that that is 2 which would lead them to have a cognitive conflict which can be very useful as they can understand that the logic is wrong. I w...

The key to answering this question is to recognise that a common substitution of u=sin(x) wont work straight away so we must write the integral in a different form. Knowing that cos(2x)=1-2sin^2(x), the sin^...

1/4sin(2x) + x/2 + c

y=e^x When we derive, the power is brought down to the front - e.g. 2e^2x. Once this has been reached, you must normally remember to reduce the power by 1. However, with the exponentials, the power remains t...
