What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?
y = mx + b
How do you calculate the slope between two points?
Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
What is the midpoint formula?
Midpoint = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)
What is the distance formula between two points?
Distance (d) = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
What is the vertex form of a quadratic equation?
y = a(x - h)^2 + k
When does a quadratic equation have a maximum value?
When the coefficient a < 0, the maximum is at k.

Animal Behaviour - Use of Pheremones

Pheromones – First described by Karlson and Lüscher in 1959 as chemical substances secreted externally by one individual and detected by another of the same species, triggering a specific behavioural or physiological response. They play key roles in communication, such as marking territory, signalling mating readiness, or reducing stress.

Animal Behaviour - Abnormal and Repetitive Behaviours

The majority of behaviour complaints in animals are not truly abnormal, but rather normal species-specific behaviours that are undesirable to owners, such as urine spraying or aggression. However, abnormal behaviours can occur—these are repetitive, lack clear function, and are not part of the normal behavioural repertoire.
