The cosine rule is used to find the length of a side or size of an angle. Take a look at the triangle below: For this triangle we have sides a, b and c and angles A,B and C. For this triangle the cosine rule...

Homeostasis is the maintenance of the internal environment to a constant state, despite changes to the external environment. Examples of conditions in the body which must be kept constant include body temper...

You will be presented with two equations, both with two unknown values. For example: 8x-2y=19 and 3x=5+y To begin, we are going to move both unknown terms in the second equation to the same side: 3x-y=5 Then...

First, remember the compound angle formula for cosine: cos (2x) =cos^ 2 (x)-sin^ 2 (x). Now use the identity sin^ 2 (x)+cos^ 2 (x)= 1 to give : cos (2x) =(1-sin^ 2 (x))-sin^ 2 (x)=1 -2sin^ 2 (x) Rearranging ...

The colour of the sky comes from sunlight scattering off of the air molecules (and to your eyes). Blue light gets scattered more than red light because it has a shorter wavelength, and so the light you see w...
