Finding Stationary Points of Cubic Functions C5

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students find the stationary points of a cubic function, determine the nature of these stationary points and to discuss and understand these processes.Students should have some knowledge of differentiation of polynomials, finding stationary points of a quadratic...

Finding the Area Bounded Between the x Axis and a Parabola

Given a quadratic graph which cuts the x axis at two points, the mathematical solution explains how to find the area bounded between the curve and the x axis. The points of intersection with the x axis are located by equating the function to zero, factorising and solving the resulting equation. The required...

Finding the Golden Ratio in Durham Cathedral

This video resource from Teachers TV is presented by Steve Humble. Filmed in Durham Cathedral, it investigates the mathematics used by master masons and the links with classical architecture. Steve investigates the proportions in Durham Cathedral and discovers ratios that are very similar to the golden ratio....

Finding the mass of the black hole in the Milky Way

Produced by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, this booklet shows how to use Kepler’s third law to calculate the mass of the black hole in the centre of the Milky Way. Included is an online video that discusses what is inside a black hole. Equations and physical terms are introduced and discussed. Students are tasked...

Finding the Masses: Earth, Sun and Black Holes

From Nelson Thornes, this resource helps students studying physics at post-16, A2 level. They help students to learn how the mass of cosmological objects are measured. Examples include the Earth, the Sun and finally the super-massive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. Some of these measurements were made...
