Real words from students who used Dawnbridge to level up their results.

AA HL · M26

I got my prediction up to a 7 from a 5 in my first year and held it through my second. You genuinely made me enjoy and get so much better at maths again — which carried over to my physics and SAT. I'm beyond sure your impact contributed to my acceptance to Columbia.

Dawnbridge helped me realize my potential was much higher than I thought. I went from a 5 in DP1 to a 7 in final exams.

AA HL · M25

Dawnbridge got me from a four to a seven in Math HL. It has everything: tons of problems, animations, and notes on everything. With a super helpful support team, they're the best IB Math resource I've found.

AA HL · M25

Dawnbridge let me improve through repetition and constant help from the AI — it helped me get a strong 6 in final exams.

AA HL · M26

I just finished my AA HL papers and I'm getting 105+ in Paper 1 and 2. Dawnbridge helped me so much with solving questions, and the YouTube webinars explained concepts my teacher didn't. I owe my IB Math success to Dawnbridge.

AA HL · M26

I was absolutely starstruck — baffled that this incredible resource isn't the main way people revise, and a bit sad I didn't find it earlier. Honestly, everyone should know about it.

Martin

AI HL · M26

The website and interface have vastly improved over the past few months and I'm extremely happy with it. Dawnbridge has loads of potential — you're literally single-handedly saving my Diploma.

AA HL · M26

After using it intensively for just three weeks, my performance and confidence have already improved by so much. My biggest regret is not finding it during my two core IB years.

AA HL · M26

Dawnbridge has saved me to levels I can't describe. I've been telling all my friends and they love it. Papers 1 and 2 went almost perfectly.

AA HL · M25

I think this is probably the only site that really contributed to my understanding of many of the more difficult maths topics.

The following diagram shows a semicircle centered at O and diameter AB. A rectangle OPQR is drawn such that P lies along [AB] and Q lies on the circular arc.

(diagram not to scale)

It is given that OP=4.

  1. Show that ∠AOQ=180tan−1(4x).

    [2]

It is also given that the arc AQ has length 17.

  1. Find the length x of [OR].

Integration

· Lesson notes

Integrals are a powerful tool that allow us to calculate the area under a curve.


The essence of integration is to draw rectangles under the curve, each with a height matching the function at each point. Adding up the area of these rectangles gives an approximation for the area under the curve. Increasing the number of rectangles makes the approximation more precise.



The real "trick" of integration is imagining what happens when the number of rectangles approaches infinity. In this case, the width each each rectangle approaches zero, and their combined area approaches that of the true region under the curve.
