Any constant (say k) can be rewritten as kx⁰ since x⁰=1. When you differentiate this, the 0 which is the power of the x term gets dragged to the front and is multiplied with the rest...

At the x-axis, y is always zero at any point. If you want to fnd out whether or not a graph reaches the x-axis, then substitute y=0 into the equation and find the value of x. If it solves, then we know it...

(draw/picture of nerve cell with its ion channels and after learning about the action potential trace and how it's derived) After each action potential, see on the trace there's a refractory period where ...

When finding the maximum or minimum of an equation, make sure you rearrange an equation to make y the subject of the equation i.e. y=_________. You can then differentiate with respect to x and then set th...

The useful thing is that different elements have been grouped together on the periodic table so that it's easy to see which ones share something in common. Group 1 elements become 1+, Group 2 becomes 2+, ...
