The key to factoring big and complicated expressions into simpler forms is to remember the factor theorem. The factor theorem says that if we plug a number k into our expression ...

The 'by contradiction' tells us we need to assume the opposite to begin with: 1) Let's assume there is a finite number of prime numbers2) Let P be the largest prime number (the last one) 3) if we multiply...

There can only be two possible outcomes, 'success' and 'fail' (e.g heads or tails) There is a fixed number of trialsThe probabilities of 'success' and 'fail' are constant and stay the same in each trial (...

There are 3 methods for solving quadratic equations;FactorisingThe quadratic equationCompleting the SquareUsing method 1,We observe that 2 and 3 are factors of 6 and that 3 - 2 = 1 so by factoring out we ...

The best way to approach this question is to solve it using integration by parts.First, recognise that ln(x) = 1 x ln(x), and set du/dx = 1 and v = ln(x). We then find that u = x, and dv/dx = 1/x.With thi...
