This comes up in C4 in A level maths and differentiating it could come up in C3. You can write a^x as exp(ln(a^x))=exp(xln(a)) then differentiating this, you get ln(a) exp(xln(a))=ln(a)a^x. By differentiatin...

When the hypothalamus in the brain detects that the blood is getting too concentrated (not enough water), it stimulates the pituitary gland to release an anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). When it reaches the kidn...

In a series circuit, the current is the same throughout; the voltage is split among the components (such as LEDs or resistors) in proportion to the resistance of the components (higher resistance means more ...

It provides an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy. However, it does not lower the activation energy for the 'normal' reaction without a catalyst.

Prove by contradiction: Assume negation to be true i.e. √2 is rational Then √2 can be written in the form a/b where a and b are integers with no common factor (the fraction cannot be simplified) => a/b = ...
