How To: Solve operations on rational functions (f o g)(x)

YAYMATH In order to use rational functions in intermediate algebra, Robert Ahdoot begins by setting values to the functions f(x) and g(x). He then adds these functions together, with the equation (f+g)(x). After addition comes subtraction, using the equation (f-g)(x). And finally multiplication, which is (ftimesg)(x). This is a little more complicated, requiring distribution of a binomial across a polynomial, but it's clearly demonstrated and explained. This video explains what to do with add...

How To: Solve linear equations w/ the multiplication property

This video demonstrates how to solve a linear function with rational coefficients by multiplying by the reciprocal of the coefficient. The reciprocal is just a fancy way of saying the numerator and denominator are swapped. Two sample problems are solved using this method. Multiplying each side of the equation by the reciprocal of the rational coefficient of the variable 'x' is an allowed operation, but only because both sides are multiplies by the the same amount. The teacher then demonstrate...

How To: Complete the square to graph a quadratic function

In this tutorial the instructor shows how to complete the square to graph a quadratic function using transformations. You can do this by transforming your equation in a series of steps.

How To: Multiply two fractions together

This video demonstrates the simplest method for multiplying fractions. According to the tutor, one should first identify the highest common factor with which to reduce the two fractions, by themselves, and in relation to each other. The numerators of the two fractions are multiplied and the product is written down as the numerator of the resultant. The same operation is carried out on the denominators of the two fractions, resulting in the denominator of the resultant fraction. The final answ...

How To: Add and subtract to solve equations

In this video the tutor shows how to add/subtract to solve equations. He says that when we are trying to solve simple equations we need to perform the same operation on both the sides of the equation i.e. if we are adding something on one side of the equation we need to add the same thing on the other side of the equation too. Similarly for the subtraction too. He says that by doing this we still maintain the equality of the equation. He shows how to do this with an example. This video gives ...
