How To: Find a slope of a straight line with: Ax + By + C = 0

In this video the instructor shows how to find the slope of an equation which is in the form Ax + By + C = 0. He says that the formula to find the slope of a line in the above form is slope m = -A/B, where A and B are the numeric constants of the variables x and y in the given equation. He goes on and further shows how to do this with a couple of examples. He shows how to reduce any equation into the general form and how to apply the slope formula then. This video shows how to find the slope ...

How To: Find the percentage of a number easily

In this arithmetic basics tutorial the author shows how to find the percentage of a number. He says that hundred percentage of number is the same number. He says that if we find the percentage of a number where the percentage is less that 100, then the value of the number reduces. Similarly if we find the percentage of a number where the percentage is more than 100, then the value will be more than the original number. He says that to find the percentage of a number we need to mark a decimal ...

How To: Find the perimeter of a rectangle

For people who are learning geometry and would like to be able to find the perimeter of a rectangle, this video provides and quick and simple tutorial which provides the formula as well as a good example. The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is simple the sum of all sides, or l+l+w+w, where l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle. After attaining the values of the length and width of the rectangle, you can simply plug in the values to this equation in order to find...

How To: Find the volume of a sphere

In this video the author show how to find the volume of a sphere. The formula for finding the volume of a sphere is 4/3 * Pi * r*r*r, where r is the radius of the sphere. Now to compute the volume of a sphere you have to note down the radius of the sphere and substitute it in the above formula along with the other substitutions. The author shows this with an example by taking a sphere of some radius and calculating its volume. To find out how to calculate the volume of a sphere watch this vid...

How To: Find the volume of a cone quickly

For people who are interested in math or who need to know how to find the volume of a cone for any reason, whether it be homework or architecture, this video will show you how to do so. The formula for finding the volume of a cone is (1/3) pi x radius^2 x height. You can find the radius of your cone by finding half the length across the center of the circle which is the cone's base. After plugging in all the values into this equation, you will be able to find the volume of any cone when given...

How To: Find Z with the Z-Score formula

In this video tutorial the instructor shows how to find Z with the Z-Score formula. He uses a sample problem to show how to find this. He tells you the formula for z which is a real simple formula. Now he notes down the formula on the board and brings in the example problem with sample values. He substitutes the values in the z-score formula and solves it finding out the z value. This video shows how to find z using the z-score formula and also demonstrates the formula using a simple example.

How To: Find the perimeter & area of a complex figure

In this video tutorial the author shows how to find the perimeter and area of a complex figure. He shows that a complex figure can be subdivided into standard geometric figures. In the current example he divides the complex figure into a rectangle and a triangle. Now he computes the perimeter by adding the three sides of the rectangle and the two sides of the triangle. Similarly he computes the individual areas of the rectangle and the triangle and finally adds then up to find the area of the...

How To: List the factors of a number

In this tutorial the author shows how to factor a number. He says that factoring means to find all the smaller numbers which can be multiplied to obtain the original number. He says that the number one and the number it self are the factors of every number. Now to find the factor of a number he starts with 2 and tries to divide that number with 2. If he is able to divide it, it implies that 2 is a factor of that number. He now does this with each and every number between 1 and the number it s...

How To: Find the vertical asymptotes of rational functions

To find a vertical asymptote, you are trying to find values of x that produce 0 in the denominator but not in the numerator. If 0/0 occurs, that means you have a "hole" in the graph. A vertical asymptote is a place in the graph of infinite discontinuity, where the graph spikes off to positive or negative infinity. To find the vertical asymptote, set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x. Check that the values also do not give a zero in the nominator. If the values work, you have found...

How To: Understand positive, negative, zero & undefined slopes

This video explains how to find the sign of slope of a line. The way shown means that you can find whether it is positive or negative without knowing its equation. It uses a simple analogy so that anyone would be able to use this method, even without much math knowledge. Being able to find the slope of a line is very important, as it leads to advanced function and calculus.

How To: Find the areas of a parallelogram and a triangle

The video teaches the viewer how to find the area of a parallelogram and the area of a triangle. For a parallelogram, the first step is to find the right angle, the line perpendicular to the base (this is a line you draw, not part of the parallelogram). The height of the line that forms this right angle with the base is the perpendicular height. Next, find the length of the base. The area is the base times the height. For a triangle, find the right angle with the base (again a line you draw)....

How To: Find the area of a triangle in geometry

This is a tutorial on how to find the area of a triangle. To show the viewer how it is done, the video walks us through a simple example step by step. The first step is to find the base and the height (in this example 5 and 6). The next step is to multiply them together (making 30). Next, the answer is divided by two (to get 15). Finally, the units are written next to the answer (in this case inches squared). This is beneficial as it is a very easy and user friendly way of learning how to fin...
