Solve for $x(t)$, $\displaystyle\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{a}{(x+b)^n},\;x(0)=0$

Apply the quadratic formula to find the roots of a given equation. The quadratic formula is given in the steps if the student requires it.

Shows how to define variables to stop degenerate examples.

Solve for $x$ and $y$:  \[ \begin{eqnarray} a_1x+b_1y&=&c_1\\   a_2x+b_2y&=&c_2 \end{eqnarray} \]

The included video describes a more direct method of solving when, for example, one of the equations gives a variable directly in terms of the other variable.
