How To: Find intercepts on a calculator TI-83

NotesCollegeAlgebra teaches you how to find intercepts on a calculator TI-83. You start with y plus 1.7 equals .8 times x squared plus 1.4 times x. First you subtract 1.7 from both sides, you get y alone on one side. The window should be set to -5...5, -5...5. X scale should be at 1, y scale at 1 and x rez at 1. Make a graph for it, like a parabola. Use trace to get y intercept at negative 1.7. The x intercept is about .85. Continue to use the calculator to get all the values that you need.

This tutorial provides tips on how to reduce and eliminate such time consuming pauses.

How To: Calculate acceleration of a car

This video teaches how to calculate the acceleration of a car. The information for this calculation is for a car that accelerates by 12 meters per second in a time of 3 seconds. So to calculate acceleration use the following formula: acceleration equals change of speed divided by time. So, using the information provided for this calculation, acceleration equals 12 meters per second divided by a time of 3 seconds. So this gives an acceleration of 4 meters per second squared.

How To: Find the sides of a 45-45-90 right triangle

First you want to find X using the identities given for a 45-45-90 triangle. When comparing the triangles in the video, we find that X must be 6. Next, use the identity to solve for the measurements of the sides of the triangle. In the video example, 6 is the length of the two sides and 6 times the square root of 2 is the length of the hypotenuse. The video is very short and does not explain a lot of things in detail, but that is because the examples are easy to figure out.

How To: Find the area of complex figures

In this tutorial the author explains how to compute the area of a complex figure.

How To: Calculate the area & circumference of a circle

PapaPodcast's Peter shows us how to calculate the Area and Circumference of a Circle. Area is the amount of square units used to cover a circle. Circumference is the units around the edge of a circle. To calculate these two units we must find a radius and diameter. Diameter is a segment that joins two points on a circle and passes through the center of the circle. Radius is half of this amount. Watch the rest of the video to figure out how to use the radius and diameter to get the Area and Ci...
