How To: Use functioning & static dominant chords in jazz guitar

In this video, we learn how to play Jazz guitar: Functioning & Static Dominant Chords. When you play an A7 going to a D chord, you are playing a functioning dominant, because a five chord always wants to go to a one chord. This is because of the tension in the five chord and how it resolves to the one chord. You will hear that the chord wants to go to a different chord, so make sure you understand this concept as you are playing. If the chord does go to the other, it's referred to as a functi...

How To: Use the SUMIF function with an array in Microsoft Excel

New to Microsoft Excel? Looking for a tip? How about a tip so mind-blowingly useful as to qualify as a magic trick? You're in luck. In this MS Excel tutorial from ExcelIsFun, the 694th installment in their series of digital spreadsheet magic tricks, you'll learn how the SUMIF function (and COUNTIF, etc.) cannot accept arrays. If you need to sum by year from transactional data the SUMIF and YEAR functions cannot be used together. Instead we can use the SUMPRODUCT function.

How To: Determine if you have a function

In this tutorial, we learn how to determine if you have a function. You will start off with two functions and their points. The 'x' values make up the domain of the function and the 'y' values make up the range. The input values are the domain and the output are the range. If you're checking to see if you have a function, you will need one 'y' for every 'x'. This means that each value has another one that goes with it. Each of the points need to have one partner with them, no more and no less...

Whether you're interested in learning Microsoft Excel from the bottom up or just looking to pick up a few tips and tricks, you've come to the right place. In this tutorial from everyone's favorite digital spreadsheet guru, ExcelIsFun, the 30th installment in his "Highline Excel Class" series of free video Excel lessons, you'll learn how to use the SUMIF function to add with one criteria, the RANK function to rank highest values to lowest values (one to five) and the IF function to assign a bo...

How To: Work with exponential growth functions in mathematics

Exponential functions are functions which contains terms which are integers raised to the power of variables. Note that the variables are not raised to the power of integers, but the integers are raised to the power of variables. Variables raised to the power of integers are called as polynomials and are a different class of functions. But exponential functions grow very fast than polynomials with the increase in the value of the variable. To understand the growth of these functions take a si...

How To: Graph a quadratic function in factored form

This video deals with solving quadratic functions. It does not involve the use of the quadratic equation; rather, only factored equations are used. The speaker starts out with a factored quadratic equation. The speaker goes on to do the mathematical steps necessary to find both the x and y intercepts of the quadratic function at hand. The author then continues on with the example to find the function's minimum. Next all of the points that have been solved for are plotted and the function is s...

How To: Use the Chain Rule for finding derivatives

JustMathTutoring This video shows the procedure of finding derivatives using the Chain Rule. The Chain Rule states that the derivative of a composition of functions is the derivative of the outside function evaluated at the inside multiplied by the derivative of the inside. This can be stated as if h(x) = f[g(x)] then h'(x)=f'[g(x)]g'(x). This is explained by two examples. In the first example we find the derivative of the sine of square of 'x'. We take the derivative of sine at square of 'x'...

How To: Sketch the graph of a piecewise function

This video teaches us to draw the graph of a piecewise function. This is shown using two examples. In the first example we have 'y' equal to 'x + 2' for x less than zero and '1 - x' for x greater than equal to zero. We plot two points on the function for x less than zero and do the same for the function with x greater than equal to zero. The graph for the first function is erased for x greater than equal to zero, and the same is done for the second function for x less than zero. Note that the...

How To: Graph the absolute value of a function

This video shows the method to plot the graph of the absolute value of a function. The video shows the example of the function of cube root of 'x'. The demonstrator first plots the graph of a cube root function. This is done by taking the reference point of positive one and positive eight. The graph is drawn for both negative and positive values of 'x'. After this the graph of absolute function is drawn by taking the absolute value of the cube root function. The resultant graph comes out to b...

How To: Graph the greatest Integer or floor function

The video shows the explanation of greatest integer function. This video explains this with the help of graphs. The video first describes the basic greatest integer function. This means the greatest integer less than or equal to the number gave. The graph of this function is drawn. The video then shows the variations of this function. The first variation shows the function that replaces the 'x' coordinate with it subtracted by three. This shifts the graph to the right by three units. The seco...

How To: Use differential equations to represent growth

This video shows the method to use differential equations to represent growth. Consider the function y=multiple of C & e raised to kx or Ce^(kx). Differentiating it with respect to x, we get dy/dx=kCe^(kx) or ky. So, the solution of the differential equation dy/dx=ky is Ce^(kx). There are two possibilities in the function y=e^(kx). It can be exponentially growth or decay function. This depends on the value of k. If k is greater than 0 or k>0, we get an exponential growth function. On the othe...
