When completing the square, we first divide the whole equation by the x^2 component. In this case, the x^2 component is 1 so nothing changes. We now apply the method to convert to square form: we reduce the ...

When any curve crosses the x-axis, the y-coordinate is 0 at that point. Hence, our answers will have y=0. So we want to solve x^2+6x+5=0. From before, we have that x^2+6x+5=0 can be rewritten as (x+5)(x+1)=0...

To start, notice that we have x^2 in our equation. This means that our answer is of the form (x )(x ). We now look for integers that give 5 when multiplied together. The only way we can do this is with the n...

Non-coding RNA.The sequence of Messenger RNA codes for a protein so is not functional RNA. However some RNA has catalytic function, such as ribosomal RNA, doesn't code for proteins so is functional RNA. Tran...

The primary structure of a protein is its amino acid sequence which is determined by the base sequence of the gene which codes for the protein. Secondary structures include alpha-helicies and beta-pleated sh...
