The process of completing the square for a quadratic expression, equation or, function can be hard to complete. Depending on the instructions you may have to also graph the function once it is in vertex form, or find the x-intercepts using vertex form.

This video goes through three examples with various levels of difficulty.

Anytime you have an expression that contains multiple variables raised to powers and you are told to simplify the expression completely, you need to be aware of all the rules for exponents.

When dividing variables that contain a common base we use the following rule to simplify:

x^m/x^n=x^(m-n)

Indefinite and definite integral problems begin the same way but differ in how you interpret their results.

The result of an indefinite integral is a family of functions whereas a definite integral determines the area underneath the function you are integrating over the closed interval [a,b].

Z-scores are used to relate any normal distribution to the standard normal distribution (mean =0, standard deviation =1). Once you have a z-score, you have to use a z-score table in order to calculate probabilities or areas underneath the standard normal curve.

This video focuses on how to use a z-score table to answer simple questions about z-scores and the percent of the distribution contained below, above, or between given z-scores.

Factor by grouping can be rather hard. Hopefully, after watching this video, you will feel a little more familiar with the process. It can be easy to mix up all of the different ways one can factor a quadratic expression, equation, or function.

The 68 - 95 -99.7 Rule (Empirical Rule) lets us know approximately what percent of the normal distribution exists between the first, second, and third stand deviation of the mean, respectively.

Combining this information with the fact that the normal distribution is symmetric about the mean, we can calculate the percent of the distribution that falls between each standard deviation. This video reminds you how to come up with these percentages on the fly if all you can remember is the 68 - 95 -99.7 Rule (Empirical Rule).

The "a" value of a quadratic function in standard form tells us whether our parabola opens upwards (concave up) or downwards (concave down).

If a is positive (a is greater than 0) then the parabola will open upwards.

If a is negative (a is less than 0) then the parabola will open downwards.

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.

The Pythagorean Theorem relates the lengths of the sides of a right triangle with the following formula:

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.
