Introduction The method of solving “by substitution” works by solving one of the equations (you choose which one) for one of the variables (you choose which one), and then plugging this back into the other equation, “substituting” for the chosen variable and solving for the other. Then you back-solve for the first variable. Solve the […]
What is Matter? Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. There are 3 states of matter, solids, liquids and gases. Examples of matter include the plants animals around us, the food we eat, the water we drink and even the air we breathe. In general, matter is built up of one or more

Mean Deviation This is the average sum of the deviations from the arithmetic mean (i.e. the sum of the differences between the scores and the mean) divided by the total frequency. Example 1 Find the mean deviation in the following test scores, Score (x) Frequency (f) 95 1 85 1 80 1 75 4 70
Introduction Fats and oils are naturally-occurring esters of three long carboxylic acids called fatty acid with a special type of alcohol called glycerol ( propane- 1,2,3-triol). Glycerol has three carbon atoms, each with an –OH group on. These fats and oils belong to a group of compounds called lipids. Fats are solid at room temperature,

Introduction A machine is essentially a device or tool which allows a force (or effect) applied at one point to overcome a resisting force (or load) at another point. Consider a simple machine such as a screw. We apply a small turning force at the head and the screw is able to move through a

Introduction Viscosity simply means friction in fluids. It is observed that it is easier to pour water or kerosene from a container than to pour honey or engine oil. A little stone dropped into a cylinder of water gets to the bottom of the cylinder faster than when the same stone is dropped into a

Introduction In everyday life, the term work is applied to any form of activity that requires the exertion physical or mental effort, someone may say ‘I go to work’, another may say ‘I work in the office of the director’, so it is used variously with different meaning as it appeals to the user. In

Introduction Alkanoic acids are also known as carboxylic acids. A carboxylic acid can he identified from the carboxyl functional group and the ‘-oic’ name ending. Structural Examples of carboxylic acids Nomenclature (Naming Alkanoic Acids) Alkanoic acids are named as follows: The number of carbon atoms in the longest carbon atom chain is noted The corresponding

Standard Index Form Standard index form is also known as standard form. It is very useful when writing very big or very small numbers. In standard form, a number is always written as: a × 10 n a is always between 1 and 10. n tells us how many places to move the decimal point. Example
