How To: Find the equation of a perpendicular & parallel line
This video shows how to find the equation of the line perpendicular and parallel to a given line. The video starts off with an example, given the lines and the slopes (m). When 2 lines are parallel to each other, they have the same slope. When 2 lines are perpendicular to each other, the slopes multiplied together will give -1. Knowing these rules, the tutorial maker provides an example with numbers. He then leads each step of the process. Each step is written out in either black, red, blue o...
How To: Find the volue and surface area of a cylinder

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: Simplify square roots w/ product & quotient rules
In this math tutorial, you will learn how to simplify square roots with product and quotient rules. To begin, you will need to multiply the square roots so that the two square roots in your equation are reduced down into one.

On the example to find "26 choose 17", go to the Home screen of the TI-89 calculator and then go 2nd 5 which is Math. Go choose probability and then to nCr to type in (26,17)...
How To: Calculate the circumference of a circle
This video shows how to calculate the circumference of a given circle. The video first describes the circumference or perimeter of a circle as the distance around the outside of a circle. To find the circumference we need either the radius or the diameter of the circle. When you know the diameter of the circle, the formula to find the circumference denoted by 'C' is 'pi' times the diameter, where 'd' is the diameter and 'pi' is a constant, the approximate value being 3.14. And when you are gi...
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 ...

This video is very descriptive and clearly explains the functions of the formula. This video will benefit those v...
How To: Work with complex numbers
In this algebra video the instructor shows how to work with complex numbers. When you have a positive number under the square root, you can easily find its value by writing it in the form of product of numbers, and then solving. That is, to find the square root of a positive number, you can find another number which multiplied by itself gives the original number. This new number becomes the square root of the original number. But when you are asked to find out the square root of a negative nu...
How To: Add decimals together
Learn how to add the decimals together in simple and easy steps. 1. First practice adding two normal digits using the traditional adding method and get your answer correctly. 2. Now to add the decimals together use the same example by including decimal points to them. 3. The adding will also be the same traditional method except that you have to place a decimal point in the exact location of your answer. 4. Now take another example (E.g.: 3. 33+4. 2) and add it in the same way by placing a ze...
How To: Find the area and volume of prisms
This helpful video gives simple step by step instructions on how to find area and volume of prisms.

Examples of all types of scenarios are given to better explain the method of finding the area. To find the volume of a triangular prism you must first find the area of the base. The next step is multiplying the area ...
How To: Add fractions with same denominator with Virtual Nerd
This video instructs on how to find the sum of fractions that have the same denominator. In order to do this, all that needs to be done is to add the different numerators together, then put the sum of those numbers over the common denominator. The example used is 2/9 + 1/9 + 5/9. The first step is to add the numerators which gives you 2 + 1 + 5/9. Then simplify the fraction adding 2 + 1 + 5 which equals 8. That is your numerator. The denominator does not change because it is common, so the fi...
How To: Graph the slope of a line through two points
If you want to learn how to get and graph the slope of a line using two points, you should watch this. 1. Let your two points be (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2). Draw a straight line that connects the two points. 2. Use the formula, m = change in y over change in x , for finding the slope which is represented by the variable m. 3. The simpler form of the formula would be m = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2). 4. If you were given two points, just substitute the values in the given formula. 5. For example, the tw...
How To: Calculate the area of a triangle with a simple method
There are only few steps to find the area of the triangle in a simple method.

Then we know the formula to calculate the area of the square. Then find area of the square by side*side. Then you will get the area of the square, now divide the area by two, as we add another triangle. Then the area of the triangle will be obtain...
How To: Simplify radicals before adding or subtracting
This video in the Education category will show you how to simplify radicals before adding or subtracting. By doing this you will find all like radicals which will then ensure that you have all radicals in the simplest form. Let’s say you want to subtract square root of 45 from 3 square roots of 20. Now square root of 45 can be written as square root of 9 x square root of 5. Because, 9 and 5 are factors of 45. Similarly, 3 square roots of 20 can be simplified to 3 x square root of 4 x square r...
How To: Evaluate combinations of functions from graphs
YouTube user NotesCollegeAlgebra teaches you how to evaluate combinations of functions from graphs. You start off with a graph and some functions. (f+g)(-3), (g/f)(0) and (fg)(-6). You start looking at the graph and the first line and you get (f+g)(-3)=f(-3)+g(-3)=3+1=4. (g/f)(0)=g(0)/f(0)=2/-3=-2/3. (fg)(-6)=f(-6)g(-6)=(-3). But then when you want to find out g(-6) you realize -6 is not in g's domain. So the answer to the last equation is that it doesn't exist.

How To: Factor trinomials with 2 variables & GCF by grouping
In the video, the process of factoring trinomials is described. A trinomial that cannot be easily factored in its original form is shown. It is simplified by pulling out the greatest common factor. After that, a trinomial that is easier to factor is shown. Next, the simplified trinomial is broken up into four terms so that factoring by grouping can be done. Once again, a common factor from each pair is taken so that two binomials are created. Once the greatest common factor is added back with...
