Crude oil and fractional distillation
Crude oil is a mixture of different types of hydrocarbons, so we need a way to separate them. There are different stages of refining crude oil, fractional distillation is the first step. It depends on the boiling point of a substance.

What is a homologous series?
A homologous series is like a family of compounds that share certain properties. For example, there are notes on my website for grade 10 about alkanes, alkenes and alcohols. These are all different homologous series. But what does it actually mean if compounds are part of the same homologous series in terms of their similarities…

Perimeter of a shape
The perimeter of a shape is the distance around it. You can imagine that there is a fence built around the shape and you want to find out how long the fence should be. That is what the perimeter is! Once you know the formula for finding the perimeter of a shape, you can apply…

How to solve quadratic inequalities
Inequalities use greater than or smaller than signs not an equals sign. How can we solve the equation to determine this range of values?

Types of roots (the discriminant)
In quadratic equations, we commonly find the x-intercepts. These values tell us where the graph cuts the x-axis. It is possible to determine what roots the function will have without drawing a graph or solving the equation by using the discriminant.
