Changing the subject of a formula
This unit contains 10 sets of questions on changing the
subject of a formula. The sets are graded getting more difficult
as you go. The last few sets reach the standard required in
examinations at Standard Grade Credit level.
This topic is covered in S3 so the sets
can be used for a third year
class or as revision work for an S4 class.
