Sketch the line y=x^2-4x+3. Be sure to clearly show all the points where the line crosses the coordinate axis and the stationary points

From the equation we can see the the line in a positive quadratic graph. In order to find the points where the line crosses the x axis we must let y=0 and solve for x. We can then use either inspection, comp...

How do I calculate the relative formula mass of FeSO4 and the number of moles, when the formula mass of O=16, S=32, Fe=56 and the mass of FeSO4= 380g

The formula mass (Mr) of FeSO4 is the total mass of all the individual elemenets added together. So the Mr of FeSO4 = (1 x Fe) + (1 x S) + (4 x O) = 56 + 32 + 4x16 = 152 To calculate moles, the equation for ...
