Find the equation of a straight line that passes through the coordinates (12,-10) and (5,4). Leaving your answer in the form y = mx + c

Finding the gradient (m): The gradient is the change in y-axis over the change in x-axis Δy = -10-4= -14 Δx = 12-5=7 Δy/Δx = -14/7 = -2 Accumilating the equation: The equation of a straight line can be deduc...

Draw the Hb disocciation curve. Why is it that shape? How is it different in the foetus?

1) Draw and label the axes! x= O 2 partial pressure; y= % saturation/occupancy 2) Sigmoid curve (plateau at 100%) 3) Describe the curve, i.e. rate increases, stays level, then decreases. Shows binding cooper...

Find the vector equation of the line of intersection of the planes 2x+y-z=4 and 3x+5y+2z=13.

The line of intersection will be parallel to both planes. We can write the equations of the two planes in 'normal form' as r.(2,1,-1)=4 and r.(3,5,2)=13 respectively. We can then read off the normal vectors ...

In terms of particles, explain how resistance arises in metal conductors and why does this resistance increases with temperature.

Resistance is due to the collision of free electrons with the metal ions of the conductor. When the temperture increases, the metal ions have more energy and vibrate. This increases the frequency of collisio...

The polynomial f(x) is define by f(x) = 3x^3 + 2x^2 - 8x + 4. Evaluate f(2).

f(x) = 3x^3 + 2x^2 - 8x + 4 f(2) = 3(2)^3 + 2(2)^2 - 8(2) + 4 f(2) = 3(8) + 2(4) - 8(2) + 4 f(2) = 24 + 8 - 16 +4 f(2) = 20
