In this video we are going to look at how to change the subject of a formula, when the subject appears twice. We have already looked at how to change the subject in another video, so you may want to watch that first. We always use opposites: adding and subtracting, multiplying and dividing, squaring and square rooting. To keep equations balanced, you must do everything to BOTH sides and then cancel on the one side. Take the rearranging step by step, starting with the things that are ‘least’ connected to your chosen subject. When the subject appears twice in the formula, we need to factorise. E.g. Make x the subject of A = 2xy + xz. Factorise the right hand side to get A = x(2y + z) and then divide both sides by the bracket (2 + z), giving A / (2y + z) = x. Another example: make m the subject of F = (mv - mu) / t. Again, because 'm' appears twice we know we’ll probably need to factorise at some point. Start by moving the ‘t’ as that’s least connect to the m’s, so multiply both sides by 't'. Ft = mv - mu. Now factorise the right hand side. Ft = m(v - u). Finish off by dividing both sides by the bracket (v - u), giving the final answer Ft / (v - u) = m.

In this video, we are going to look at parallel lines. To find the equation of parallel lines, we still use the y=mx + c equation, and because they have the same gradient, we know straight away that the gradient ‘m’ will be the same. We then just need to find the missing y-intercept ‘c’ value.

Plants have developed responses called tropisms. A tropism is a growth in response to a stimulus; so light and water in the plant’s case.
There are different types of tropisms: Positive tropisms are when growth is towards the stimulus - so the plant growing towards the light to maximise the stimul
