Differentiating a function, A straight line has a constant gradient, or in other words, the rate of change of y with respect to x is a constant. Example Consider the straight line y = 3x + 2 We can calculate the gradient of this line as follows. We take two points and calculate the change in y divided by the change in x. When x changes from −1 to 0, y changes from −1 to 2, and so No matter which pair of points we choose the value of the gradient is always 3. y is a function of x, so y =f(x) f(x1) = y1 and f(x2) =y2 x2-x1=dx, x2= x1+dx, By substitituting these terms in slope formula, we have; m =[ f(x1 + dx) - f(x1)]/dx, as the limit of dx approaches 0 Seven steps to avoit the spread of Corona Virus (Covid19): If you find this video interesting, kindly subscribe to my channel for more exciting Maths tutorials.

Oct 22, 2025Integration by partial fractions is an integration technique which uses partial fraction decomposition to simplify the integrand. The integrand is written as partial fractions and then evaluated using standard methods. The integrals of many rational functions lead to a natural log function with absolute value expressions. This video explains what to do when you have non repeated linear factors factors.

Oct 22, 2025To solve any Second Order Linear Homogeneous Differential Equation, first this you need to do, is to transform the equation in to an auxiliary or characteristics equation in the form: ar²+be+c=0 We have already seen how to do that in our previous lesson. The next move is to solve for r which are the roots of the equation (r intercept). Then determine the nature of the roots and substitute in to the following equations, depending on the nature of roots. y=C₁eʳ¹ˣ+C₂eʳ²ˣ. when you obtain real and distinct roots y=(C₁+C₂x)eʳˣ when you Obtain real and equal roots. and finally, if you Obtain a complex solution in the form: r= m+si or r = m-si where i is imaginary number, and m and s are real numbers, then y=eᵐˣ[C₁cos(st)+C₂sin(st)]
