How do I make y the subject of an equation? For example in 9x = 3x + 2y.

There are several ways we can rearrange algebraic formulae in order to change the subject. Changing the subject basically means changing the variable (letter) that we are trying to find out, so getting the l...

Why does integration by parts work?

Recall the product rule for differentiation: the derivative of uv is equal to u'v+uv'.If we use the fact that integration reverses differentiation (so the integral of f' is f), then we calculate that uv is e...

The point P(-3,9) belongs to a line intercepting the origin. Find the equation of the line.

We are told that the line passes through the origin O (0,0) and the point P (-3,9). First we need to find the gradient of the line m; this is given by m = (change in y)/(change in x), hence m = (9-0)/(-3-0) ...

Solve algebraically the simultaneous equations: x^2 + y^2 = 25 and y - 3x = 13

Firstly we should look at the question and notice that the two possible methods are substitution or elimination. We should then notice that since one equation is a quadratic and the other linear, then the el...
