How To: Solve single-step inequalities using the reciprocal

This video tutorial is in the Education category which will show you how to solve single-step inequalities using the reciprocal. Let's solve the problem "negative 5/2 X is less than equal to negative 1/5". To solve for "X", we need to get rid of "negative 5/2". To do that, we multiply both sides of the inequality by the reciprocal of 5/2 and we need to keep the negative sign also. So, we multiply both sides by "negative 2/5". Whenever we multiply a negative to both sides of an inequality, the...

How To: Match exponential graphs

This video tutorial belongs to the Education category which is going to show you how to match exponential graphs. The video shows two graph sheets with three graphs marked A to F on each sheet and six equations. It starts off with matching the basic function, y = 2 to the power x. If you plug in zero for x, you get '2 to the power 0' which is 1. Hence, the equation becomes; y = 1. So, the graph that passes through y = 1 is the matching one. In the video it is graph A. You can watch the video ...

How To: Use commas with restrictive and nonrestrictive clauses

This video tutorial is in the Education category where you will learn how to use commas with restrictive and non-restrictive clauses. Restrictive and non-restrictive clauses are phrases or words that come between the subject and the verb. You don't use commas to separate restrictive clauses. For example, in the sentence "the students who did not wear uniforms were punished". Here "students" is the subject and "were punished" is the verb and the clause "who did not wear uniforms" is restrictiv...

How To: Divide fractions with examples

In this Education video tutorial you will learn how to divide fractions with examples. For example let us divide 1/5 with 3/4. This we can do by changing the division sign in to multiplication sign provided we swap the numerator and the denominator of the divisor to get its reciprocal. The equation can now be written as 1/5 x 4/3. Now multiplying the numerators and the denominators, we get the answer as 4/15. So, you can see that division of fractions is the same as multiplication. You only n...

How To: Simplify complex fraction w/ single fraction on bottom

This is a great instructional video on education. This educational video teaches you how to simplify a complex fraction with a single fraction on bottom. Let us learn this with an example. Let us assume we have to simplify the complex fraction 5 by x-4 divided by 5-4x by 5. When you simplify this you will get 5-4x over x divided by 5-4x over 5. You will now get 5-4x over x multiplied by 5 over 5-4x. This is equal to 5 over x. This is how we have to simplify a complex fraction with a single fr...

How To: Subtract basic fractions in simple mathematics

This video tutorial is in the Education category which will show you how to subtract basic fractions in simple mathematics. You can do basic subtraction of fractions if the denominators are the same. If they are not, then find the lowest common multiple of the denominators and convert the denominators to their lowest common multiple. For example, to subtract 1/2 from 3/4 find the common multiple of 2 and 4, which is 4. So, the problem 3/4 - 1/2 can now be written as 3/4 - 2/4. Since, the deno...

How To: Convert Farenheit to Celsius in your head

This video tutorial is in the Education category which will show you how to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius in your head. This method is a good estimate for converting temperatures. However, do not use this for accurate temperature conversions. Let's say you want to convert 22 degree Celsius to Fahrenheit. 1st step is to double the figure, that is, add 22 plus 22 which is 44. Next add 44 with 30, which gives the result 74. So, 22degree Celsius is equal to 74 degree Fahrenheit. Similarly, 32 deg...

How To: Simplify an exponential expression in algebra

In this Education video tutorial you will learn how to simplify an exponential expression in algebra. There are neither audio nor typed instructions in this video.
