How To: Approximate the area under a curve using rectangles

The idea of finding the area under a curve is an important fundamental concept in calculus. Consider a function y = f(x). Now the area under the curve is to be calculated. The area under a curve problem is stated as 'Let f(x) be non negative on [a, b]. Find the area of the region lying beneath the curve y = f(x) and above the x-axes, from x = a to x = b. Note that finding the area under a curve will imply that you are dealing with a non negative function. The way to approach is to divide the ...

How To: Find the slope from a graph

To do this, there are many ways to approach this problem. One way is to look at the change in Y over the change in X by looking at the points on the graph. Another way is to use the equation Y2-Y1 over the equation X2-X1. In other equations where you are given a graph, you may be asked if the slope is positive, negative, or zero. To determine this, look at the line in the context of moving from left to right along the graph. If the line graphed is going down as you move from left to right, th...

How To: Do a similarity transformation in Geometry

In this video the author shows how to do similarity transformations. He says that similarity transformations are used to draw the similar images at a different location and the k value is most important while doing this kind of transformation. He says that a negative k value tells that the copy of the shape will end at the opposite side of the origin to the original shape. He says that a positive k value tells that the copy will lie on the same side of the origin. Next thing about the k value...

How To: Graph square root functions & inequalities

On Yay Math, Robert Ahdoot, founder of Yay Math, will show you some square root functions and some inequalities. He begins with the problem y=x². Then he makes a sketch with two intersecting lines in a t shape. The problem is illustrated by a curved U shape, the U's bottom resting on the horizontal bar, which represents x, while the center takes the vertical line. The vertical bar represents y. This U is directed up because the x² is a positive number. If the number were negative, the U would...

How To: Solve inequalities by multiplying or dividing

In this tutorial, we learn how to solve inequalities by multiplying or dividing. Start out with your equation written out in front of you. Now, find the variable in the equation and figure out how to get rid of the denominator underneath it. Divide this on both sides, then you will be left with the variable with the inequality. Don't flip the inequality if you don't divide by a negative on both sides. Then, write out the rest of the equation. Once finished, do the rest of the math for the rig...

How To: Find abc, curve direction & y-intercept (quadratic eq)

In this tutorial, we learn how to find abc, curve direction & y-intercept (quadratic eq). First, you need to find the a,b, and c of the equation. A will equal what the coefficient is in the equation, B will equal the second, and C will equal the third term. This tells us if the numbers are positive or negative, so so know if the parabola opens up or down. To graph C, you will know what the y-intercept is going to be, then find the matching units. After this, you will use B to shape the parabo...

How To: Design with bead frames with Katie Hacker

Bead frames are pretty simple to understand. Rather than simply stringing beads onto a pendant or necklace, you can attach them to bead frames, which come in all shapes and varieties, to make a novel design that can take advantage of negative space. It goes without saying that elaborate bead frames make the entire design more ornamental, whereas a simple round wooden bead base helps put the spotlight on the bead in the center for a subtle glamour.

How To: Create and use band-pass filters in Blender

In this clip, you'll see how to construct a pass filter, commonly called a high-gain or band-pass filter. To do this, you'll use the HSV channels to identify what to do, the RGB curve to make an inversion mask, or negative, so that the image is added to itself, thus evening out the contrast and making a very flat image. This image can then be tiled and used as a seamless texture. Whether you're new to the Blender Foundation's popular 3D modeling program or a seasoned graphic artist just inter...

Now to make a stand take a small plastic lid and two pieces of rubber magnet then place magnets to both the sides of the lid an...

How To: Graph linear inequalities

Solving the Inequalities using graph, first you have to take the inequality equation into equal. Then convert the equation into straight line equation i-e(y=mx+c). Giving own values for 'x' like (-1, 0, 1) we would get the value for 'y'. By plotting these points in the graph, you will get an straight line. If the given equation is greater than symbol, shade towards the positive part. If the given equation is smaller than symbol, shade towards the negative part. This is an one method to solvin...

How To: Use definite integrals to find the area of curves

Brightstorm explains how to use definite integrals to find area. There are two basic area problems: one in which the area lies between the function and the x-axis, and one where the area lies between the two functions. In the first case, if the curve lies above the x-axis for x=a to x=b, the definite integral returns the area. If it lies below the x-axis for x=a to x=b, then the definite integral returns a negative area. In the second case, we assume that f(x) is the higher curve and g(x) is ...

How To: Simplify square roots w/ product & quotient rules

In this math tutorial, you will learn how to simplify square roots with product and quotient rules. To begin, you will need to multiply the square roots so that the two square roots in your equation are reduced down into one. The rule for non-negative "A" and "B" is that the square root of "A" multiplied by the square root of "B" yields the square root of A x B.
