The distributive property of multiplication over addition is a(b+c)=ab+ac.
The equality of both sides allows us to move in either direction.

In one direction you will generally be told to "distribute" while the other direction is tied with "factoring." It can be hard to associate all these math terms together, but this video attempts to provide simple examples using the distributive property in both directions.

For an indefinite integral, the constant of integration is usually represented with +C. It represents the constant that can not be determined while completing an indefinite integral without extra information.

If we have a solution to the function we get when we take the integral, we can find the appropriate value of C for the given problem.

The three matrix elementary row operations (swap, scale, and add) needed in Gauss-Jordan Elimination are:
1. Switching/swapping/exchanging rows
2. Multiplying row by non-zero constant/scalar
3. Row Addition

You'll use these when solving an augmented matrix or finding the inverse of a square matrix.

Converting from a linear system of equations to an augmented matrix involved bringing down the coefficients of equations down in a particular way. It is important that

1. Each column in your augmented matrix only has coefficients from one variables.
2. One row of your augmented matrix has coefficients from only one of the equations.

A quick video that explains how to identify and combine like terms within an algebraic expression. This is part of a series in which my goal is to deliver short information dense videos on small topics within mathematics.

Terms are considered like if they:
1. Have the same variables.
2. The power/degree of each variable agrees.

The process of completing the square for a quadratic expression, equation, or function can seem confusing at first.

What do you do when a=1?

What do you when a is not 1?

Well, with the method discussed it doesn't matter what value of a you are working with.

The first quartile of the normal distribution is found at the mean -0.67 times the standard deviation. The third quartile is found at the mean +0.67 times the standard deviation.

The first quartile, the mean, and the third quartile break down the normal distribution into approximately four equal parts each containing about 25% of the distribution.

The problems involving this breakdown of the normal distribution either use the word quartile or talk about 25, 50, or 75 % of the distribution within the question.

Factoring the difference of two squares can be done quickly as long as you can rewrite your expression equation or function in the form a^2-b^2. The factored form will then be (a+b)(a-b).

a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)

Multiplying matrices can be tricky. Not every pair of matrices can be multiplied together. Also, for a given pair of matrices, the order in which one multiplies matters as well.

Sometimes, you are asked to make sure all of the exponents in your answer are positive. To convert any exponent from negative to positive you either move the variable from the numerator to the denominator or you move the variable from the denominator to the numerator. You may have heard this rule called the elevator rule, because you can imagine the variable hopping into an elevator and moving up or down one floor.

The rule is:

x^(-n)=1/x^n
or
1/x^(-n)=x^n
