Q

i have the formula for the unknown…..now what?….

If you dont flip you will get 10 years of bad luck.

A

Lay out all the quantities required to form the new equation, then substitute your rearranged value for the unknown quantity wherever neccesary.

Q

I GOT IT ….BUT WAIT…THERES STILL MORE MARKS TO GET….. WHAT DO I DO???????? when asked to find the minimum value of the equation formed.

A

Differentiate, equate to 0, find value of x (or whatever letter it may be).
Then, substitute the value of x (or wateva) into the equation you formed earlier.

Q

Now they want to know if its a maximum value or a minimum value :-( wot do i do? FLIP

A

find the second derivative, substitue the value X (or wateva) into the second derivative, if this value is positive than it means is a minimum …. if this value is negative it is a maximum.
