How To: Calculate the weighted average of specific values

The way to convert 0.300 Moles of water into Grams is to start by writing what you have. Then put grams on top and moles on the bottom, then put one by the mole, the omler mass goes by grams. Now you figure out the moler mass of water which has 2 H and 1 O, its 2 times 1 which is the atomic mass for hydrogen plus 16.0 for oxygen which gives a total of 18.0 g/mol. So then you insert the 18 up by the grams, now you can cancel out the moles and multiply 0.300 times 18.0g and it gives you 5.40 g,...

How To: Draw the letter "B" as a 3D block letter

This is a clear video showing how to easily draw a 3D letter 'B'. First of all you start by just writing the letter 'B' normally; and then you double outline all of the lines you have drawn, both inside and outside of the letter. Color it in with a block color for a 2-dimensional letter. Then its time to make it 3D! In the middle you just add lines parallel to the 2D letter, and also around the top and left sides of the shape; color this in with a darker color, and voila! You should now have ...

How To: Factor out when doing rational expressions in algebra

This video shows the method to simplify rational expressions. The example used in the video is multiple of 4 and x square plus multiple of 4 and x plus 1 or (4x^2 + 4x + 1)/(2x^3 + 11x^2 + 5x). As the first and last term is a perfect square we get the simplified numerator as (2x + 1)(2x + 1). Next, the denominator is simplified. Taking the common factor out we get x(2x^2 + 11x + 5). Now we factorize 2x^2 + 11x + 5. We get (2x + 1)(x + 5 ). Now, writing the terms in numerator and denominator w...

The tree would signify the lectures of your professor. Crossing out the topics that are discussed rarely by the professor ...

How To: Convert fractions to decimals

This video explains how to convert fractions to decimals by providing a good example. 1. To better explain the notion draw a box divided into sections to represent the 1 whole. 2. In this example the fraction used is 7/10. So, you have to color in 7 out of the 10 sections that make up the box. 3. To make the conversion to a decimal is now even simpler. Since not all the boxes are shaded the number must be less than 1, so start by writing 0. 4. The next step is to check the number of boxes you...

How To: Find the equation of a perpendicular line easily

In this video the instructor shows how to find out an equation of a perpendicular line. If you need to find the equation of a line passing through the given point and is perpendicular to another line, the first thing you need to do is compute the slope of the given line. Obtain the slope of the equation by writing it in the form of y = mx + b. Now the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is a negative one. So the slope of our required line will be the negative inverse of the slope of ...

How To: Work with complex numbers

In this algebra video the instructor shows how to work with complex numbers.

How To: Find the formula of a piecewise function given a graph

This video shows how to find the formula of a piecewise function when given a graph. The first step is to write a definition for the graph, which is done by identifying the different domains shown in the graph. The second step is writing formulas for each domain specified by the lines in the graph. The point-slope formula is used to identify the slope and y-intercept for the leftmost domain, which has a sloped line. A point and horizontal line make for simpler equations in the other pieces of...

How To: Algebraically solve mixed quantities problems
