How To: Use Excel for daily interest and monthly deposits

Some savings plan pays interest 365 days in a year but you make deposit monthly. You can use Excel functions to calculate the maturity value of the of the monthly plan. To do this you have to use the nominal and effect functions before using the future value functions. First enter the know data like the monthly payment, the number of years of payment, the number of days in a year, and the annual percentage rate. First take the nominal rate and calculate the effective rate with the help of eff...

How To: Graph linear functions by finding X & Y Intercept

This video shows the method to graph a linear function by finding the X and Y intercept. Only two points are needed to graph linear functions. So we find the point on Y axis or the Y intercept and the point on the X axis or the X intercept. We notice that on the Y axis the X coordinate is zero. So, we find the Y intercept by putting x=0 in the given equation and solving for y. In the same way, we find the X intercept by putting y=0 in the given equation and solve for x. We join the two points...

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: Draw the "y=A|x-h|+k" graph

In this video, one teacher talked in detail about how to solve absolute value functions and how to translate different absolute value functions from one point in the matrix to another one horizontally and vertically. If the function is y=A|x-h|+k, generally, the diagram is symmetric based on the line of X and can be moved vertically based on k. The teacher gave several examples to explain how to illustrate the absolute value function. He started with a simple one: y=|x-h|, then continued with...

How To: Find slant (oblique) asymptotes of rational functions

In this educational video the instructor shows how to find the slant asymptotes of rational functions. Slant or oblique asymptotes occur when the degree of the numerator is exactly one greater than the degree of the denominator of the rational function. The way to find the equation of the slant asymptote from the function is through long division. In this long division you divide the numerator with the denominator by following the long division method as shown in this video. Before dividing i...

How To: Find the horizontal asymptotes of rational functions

Finding horizontal asymptotes is very easy! Not all rational functions have horizontal asymptotes. the function must satisfy one of two conditions dependent upon the degree (highest exponent) of the numerator and denominator. If the degree of the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator, then the horizontal asymptote is y= the ratio of the leading coefficients. If the degree of the denominator is greater than the degree of the numerator then y= 0. If the degree of the denominator i...
