This is a tutorial segment of basic steps of hand writing. Mary Dixon is the instructor for this tutorial segment. First you should keep in mind that you should keep the pencil with correct positioning. Assure that you have a comfortable grip on it. For proper positioning of your pencil, you should use three fingers. The first finger represents the third or long finger of your hand. The second one is the thumb and no. 3 is your index finger or second finger that is held on the top of the pencil...

This video goes through the step by step process of doing long division with remainders. Multiple examples are used throughout the video to give the viewer a better idea of how to properly complete the difficult task. Perfect for anyone learning long division for the first time, or for anyone attempting to relearn long division after forgetting how to do the process (an all to common occurrence in a world with calculators on every cell phone).

This video shows how to find areas between curves. The basic idea is that we find the space trapped between two curves on a graph. The formula for finding this is top curve, subtract bottom curve and then integrate. The presenter shows a parabola that goes through the origin. Then he draws a line that runs through the origin. We try to find the area trapped between the two. You take your smallest x co-ordinate to the largest x co-ordinate, you take the curve on top (2x) and subtract the curve...

This is a great instructional video on education. This educational video teaches you how to simplify a complex fraction with a single fraction on bottom. Let us learn this with an example. Let us assume we have to simplify the complex fraction 5 by x-4 divided by 5-4x by 5. When you simplify this you will get 5-4x over x divided by 5-4x over 5. You will now get 5-4x over x multiplied by 5 over 5-4x. This is equal to 5 over x. This is how we have to simplify a complex fraction with a single...

By watching this video, you will learn how to find any the length of any side by using a simple mathematical formula. Ken walks you through various examples changing the dimensions of the triangle you are solving as well as changing the side you are solving. Ken even includes a real world application to further your understanding of the...

This video shows how to find the area of a circle using a formula. The formula for area of circle is pie multiplied by square of radius. Pie is actually an infinite number but for the sake of convenience we consider the value of pie as 3.14. So we multiply the square of radius with 3.14. Radius is the distance between the center point of the circle to any of the outside arcs. It is actually half of the diameter (diameter is the distance between two arcs of a circle). As an example here the...

In this tutorial the instructor shows how to solve equations with fractions and decimals. When you have a fraction first try to simplify it by canceling out the common factors in the numerator and the denominator. If there are any decimals convert them into fractions. Now if you have a number multiplying a equation apply distributive law and simplify the equation. Now finally try to get the variables on one side and numerical terms on the other side of the equation and finally solve for the...

A Teacher shows us how to graph compound sentences with the word "or" in them. These graphs will have arrows pointing out in different directions. On the number line draw arrows from the numbers in your compound sentence. So for example if after solving a problem with inequalities the problem has two possible answers that it could be, you would record both of the answers that it could possibly be. For our example we will use x is greater than seven, and x is less than three. You would then...

In this video, the instructor shows how to identify the percentage change using proportions. When a given quantity increases or decreases by certain amount then we can calculate the percentage change in the quantity, which can be either increase or decrease based on the new value of the quantity. To solve these kind of situations you should know that the ratio of amount of increase (or decrease) of an amount to its original amount is equal to the ratio of percentage increase (or decrease) to...

Can't remember how to convert Celsuis temperatures to Farenheit? If your old science lessons are escaping you, then your answer is here. Use the simple formula outlined in the steps in this video to make the proper conversion every time.

In this video the instructor shows how to solve multi-step equations. In a multi-step equation, the equals to sign divides the two sides of the problem. To solve this kind of problem, the first thingyou do is to get all the variables on one side and the numbers on the other side. By doing this finally you are left with the variable on one side and its value on the other side. Be careful of the signs when moving the variables from one side to the another. The instructor shows how to solve a...

This video teaches you how to solve a linear system by mathematically graphing it out. The video starts off with a problem, asking to solve the system, with two given equations. To solve the system, one would insert 0 for x and solve for y in the first equation to obtain a point. Then one would insert 0 for y and solve for x at the second point. Afterwards, insert 1 for x and solve for y to obtain the third point. For the second equation, do the same thing, inserting 0 for x, 0 for y and 1...

In order to make manganese dioxide electrodes, you're going to need cobalt nitrate and manganese nitrate to do it. Making cobalt nitrate is fairly easy, but making the manganese nitrate is a little more complicated. But not impossible.

In this video the instructor shows how to solve linear absolute value equations and inequalities. You need to remember basic rules to solve these kind of problems. When the absolute value is equal to a number then the real value of it is equal to either the positive value of that number or negative value of that number. In case the absolute value is less than or equal to a number, then the real value lies in between the positive and negative values of that number. In the third case, if the...

You can draw intercept in graph. The teacher took 4x + 3y =12 for solving using intercepts and told that the standard form of the equation should have X and Y terminal at the left side and constant at the right side.

In this video the instructor shows how to factor the difference of squares using a formula. The formula to find the difference of squares can only be applied if you have two perfect squares. The formula is (a * a - b * b) = (a - b) * (a + b). That is the difference of squares of two numbers is the product of sum of two numbers and difference of two numbers. So when you need to find the difference of squares of two numbers substitute the values in the above formula to directly solve for the...

In this video, the instructor shows you how to graph quadratic equations. When you have a quadratic equation in terms of x and y, first try to identify the coefficients of the terms. Now use front end of the quadratic formula to find the line of symmetry which is the first half of the vertex using the formula x = -b/2a. This gives the line of symmetry. Next, plot the line using a few points starting at the line of symmetry. Take sample values of x and find the corresponding values of y on...

The tutorial is part of a full lesson of pre algebra. This video teaches you what reflection is as a mathematical term. In the beginning of the video, the video maker draws 4 shapes labeled MNOPQ, ABCDE, FGHIJ and RSTUV. The first question in the video asks to "Name the figure that represents a reflection of ABCDE over the X-axis." The woman in the video repeats the question, stating the horizontal line is the X-axis and asks for the reflection image. She puts her hand on ABCDE and flips her...

This video shows the method to simplify expressions with different exponents. The video starts with the explanation of 16 raised to the power 1/4. This can be solved by taking the nth or the 4th root of 16 where n stands for the denominator of the fraction. Then the video explains 8 raised to power 4/3. This can be solved in two ways. First one involves taking the cube root of 8 and raising it to the power of 4. The second method involves converting 8 into 2 raised to the power 3 and taking the...

This is a mathematical instructional video on finding the point slope form of a line equation. This technique allows you to find the x and y intercepts of a line.
