S = U T + 1 2 A T 2. S = V T − 1 2 A T 2. How do you derive the quadratic formula? Derivation of Quadratic Formula Divide both sides of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 by a. Transpose the quantity c/aRead More →

Geometrically, the derivative of a function can be interpreted as the slope of the graph of the function or, more precisely, as the slope of the tangent line at a point. Its calculation, in fact, derives from the slope formula for a straight line, except that a limiting process mustRead More →

1 : again : anew retell. 2 : back : backward recall. What is Re in Latin? From Latin re- (“again; back”). What does Derie mean? verb (used with object), de·rived, de·riv·ing. to receive or obtain from a source or origin (usually followed by from). to trace from a sourceRead More →

Ossification begins as mesenchymal cells form a template of the future bone. They then differentiate into osteoblasts at the ossification center. Osteoblasts secrete the extracellular matrix and deposit calcium, which hardens the matrix. Where does ossification begin inside the bone? The osteoblasts form a collar of compact bone around theRead More →

Most functions you normally encounter are either continuous, or else continuous everywhere except at a finite collection of points. For any such function, an antiderivative always exists except possibly at the points of discontinuity. Can you integrate any continuous function? Since the integral is defined by taking the area underRead More →
