Indefinite Integral

Indefinite Integral Indefinite integral is the set of functions F(x) + C, where C is any real number and F(x) is the integral of f(x) whereas Integral is the result of a mathematical integration; F(x) is the integral of f(x) if dF/dx = f(x). In other words Indefinite integral is anti derivative of the functions. It is written as f(x)dx (without upper and lower limits). If f(x)dx = F + c Where F is the anti derivative of f and C is the arbitrary constant Here f is called as integrand and x is the variable of integration. Indefinite Integral is so called because its value cant be determined until the end points are specified Formulae: xn dx = xn+1(n+1)+ c k .dx = kx + c Trigonometry rules: Example 1: x4 .dx 4x2 + c (b) 4x3 + c (c) x33 + c (d) x55 + c Answer: d Explanation: Here n = 4 x4 dx = x(4+1)(4+1) + c = x55 + c Example 2: (8ex- 2x2 + 3x2 -2x). dx Answer: 8 ex . dx - 2 x-2 . dx + 3 x2 .dx - 2 x .dx = 8ex 2.x-1-1 + 3. x33 - 2. x22 + c = 8ex + 2x + x3 - x2 + c

A Summer Checklist for Incoming College Freshmen

A Summer Checklist for Incoming College Freshmen Congratulations on your college acceptance, and on choosing your home for the next few years! By now, the pressure you feel has probably eased a bit, and theres time to relax. However, the transition from high school to college is a significant one, and preparation is key when it comes to a successful first semester as a college freshman. You may be wondering where to begin when it comes to preparing for this new chapter. When writing a summer checklist as an incoming college freshman, prioritize tasks like signing up for orientation, registering for classes, searching for extracurriculars, and exploring the school as a whole. Here is a sample summer checklist for incoming college freshmen: Summer checklist item #1: Sign up for orientation Register for an early orientation to (hopefully) get the classes you want, as well as to familiarize yourself with the campus and to see your official dorm and cafeteria options firsthand. Orientation is also the first real chance youll have to make new friends, so be open to introductions and dont be afraid to start a conversation during campus tours. Summer checklist item #2: Consider your options Maybe youre the person whos wanted to be a teacher since the age of three, or maybe youre still not sure about what to study. Spend a few hours looking through the course catalog to see what majors are available, and keep in mind that you can start as an undeclared student. [RELATED: What I Wish I Knew About Picking a College Major] Summer checklist item #3: Explore online While youre perusing the course catalog, you should also navigate the schools website. See what it offers, and ask yourself a few questions: What kind of resources does this college have for students? What is the online learning system like? Where can I find school policies on dorm life, academic integrity, and student rights? When are the major sporting events? This is also a great opportunity to look at the school calendar and to note holidays, midterm and final schedules, and other important dates. Summer checklist item #4: Register for classes Waiting until the last minute to register for courses might leave you stuck with that 8:00 a.m. English class on the other side of campus. Make sure you know when the first day of freshman registration is, and have your classes picked out beforehand so you can be confident in creating your first college schedule. You can knock out some of the introductory courses for your potential major or try a couple of classes from different disciplines in-between general requirements. Be ready with a list of first and second choices on registration day, especially at a large school with lots of students. [RELATED: How to Create Your First College Schedule] Summer checklist item #5: Choose at least one extracurricular The first year of college can be a little intimidating and even occasionally lonely. One way to combat the discomfort of this major transition is to choose a club or activity to join right away. Take some time during the summer to see whats available in terms of intramural sports, student clubs, volunteer work, or even popular campus jobs, and figure out how to work an interest of yours into your schedule. Summer checklist item #6: Buy textbooks Once youre registered for classes, youre going to need school supplies. Textbooks can be a major expense, so see if you can find used copies in local bookstores or online for less than theyll cost in the campus bookstore. If you dont have a computer, youll also likely need one of those. Summer checklist item #7: Friend your roommate Sometime during the summer youll be notified who your roommate is; get in touch over social media or email, and get to know them! You may hit it off, or at the very least you can coordinate whos bringing the mini-fridge and other dorm room must-haves. You can also talk about preferences for having visitors, sleep schedules, and other roommate issues. Summer checklist item #8: Take a look at your finances This is a great time to learn a little about finances, and to make sure that youre set up for success. Youll probably want to open a bank account. Make sure youve filled out all of your financial paperwork for scholarships, grants, and/or student loans, and build yourself a budget for covering tuition, books, living expenses, and spending money. Summer checklist item #9: Speak with your parents or guardians Make sure you communicate clearly with your parents or guardians about things like finances, expectations for how often youll call or come to visit, and other pieces of your relationship that might change now that youre off on your own. If you build a plan together, it can help prevent future conflict. Summer checklist item #10: Get check-ups Finally, get check-ups for yourself, any pets youre taking with you, and your mode of transportation. There may be mandatory vaccinations that youll need before moving into a college dorm. If youre moving far away, youll want to guarantee your car or bike is reliable and in good working condition. Your first semester will be full of new experiences, people, and situations, but you can easily set yourself up for success (and a lot of fun) with this summer checklist for incoming college freshmen.

Simplify Radical Expression

Simplify Radical Expression Radical expression is a mathematical expression which can consists of radicals, variables and numbers. The meaning for the word radical is root. Radicals are very much used in almost every topic of mathematics. There are different mathematical operations that can be used to simplify and solve questions related to radicals expressions. Two radicals can be added or subtracted if they have the same number or expression in the root, this makes them similar radicals to carry mathematical operations. Example 1: Simplify and find the answer for the given radical expression 2 3 x + 5 3 x 3 x? Solution: The given question is on adding and subtracting radicals. This question contains the adding and subtracting the similar radical 3. The first step of the question is solving for 23 x + 53 x = 73 x. Now subtract 3 from the earlier answer 73 x = 6 3 Therefore simplifying the radicals gives 2 3 x + 5 3 x 3 x = 6 3 x. Hence solution = 6 3 x. Example 2: Simplify find the answer for the given question 5 x + 45 x 25 x? Solution: The given question is on adding and subtracting radicals. This question contains the adding and subtracting the similar radical 5 The first step of the question is solving for 5 x + 4 5 x = 5 5 x Now subtract 25 x from the earlier answer 5 5 = 3 5 Therefore simplifying the radicals gives 5 x + 45 x 25 x = 35 x Hence solution = 35 x.

10 Extremely Influential Guitarists Who Were Not Technically Great

10 Extremely Influential Guitarists Who Were Not Technically Great Megan L. You dont have to be a virtuoso guitarist to touch peoples hearts with your music! Guitar teacher  Samuel B.  shares a few of his favorite great-but-not-that-great famous guitar players Towards the end of Johnny Cashs autobiography, youll find the following paragraph: As to my musical future, my prospects look good. I can whack on a guitar as incompetently as I could a year ago, probably more so. I can sing just as well, or as badly, as I ever could. And Ive got more songs trying to go through me than ever; Ive written three in the last three weeks. Despite his technical limitations,  Johnny Cash remains an iconic musician, and likely will for decades to come. It is a mistake, I think, to automatically link great music  with technical perfection. Vaughan, Hendrix, and Clapton aside, the majority of my guitar heroes were not superb musicians. Their influence is based on innovation and expression to a much greater extent than it is on fluid musicianship. Cash is just one example. Here are nine others: Bob Dylan Guitar-wise, the best Ive heard of Dylan are the tracks on his first album for Columbia: Bob Dylan (1962). With two exceptions, its 14 tracks are traditional songs or material by other artists which Dylan adapted to a fast-paced “high and lonesome” style involving intense strumming and (in some cases) intricate fingerpicking. Despite these energetic musical highlights, none of his other albums boast remarkable guitar moments. While Dylan has proven himself an exceptional and highly influential lyricist, his musicianship is considered average at best. Tom Petty Just listen to the opening chords of “Free Fallin.” They are about as simple as they come. The song itself has no chorus or bridge. Very few figures in rock create anthems as memorable as Pettys. Theyre not based on intricacy â€" just gut and tone. Pettys music  is raw and exuberant. Any listener can relate to it. Richie Havens A former doo-wop and gospel singer, Havens maintained a career of playing an alternate tuning with his thumb over the neck. The sound of his strumming and his voice was unmistakable â€" a powerful yet warm and soothing balm. At times, he described his guitar as more of a tool than an instrument. Havens contribution to music history was not based so much on musical excellence as it was on his ability to use his artistic gifts and his grandfatherly wisdom to inspire the best in others. BB King Footage from the 1988 documentary Rattle and Hum includes a collaboration between U2 and King. During the rehearsal, King twice indicates how poorly he plays chords. Kings calling card was his vibrato which (like Havens thumb chords) was his alone. Who can forget his childlike face after telling Lucille to talk to him and closing his eyes? Kurt Cobain Even on Nirvanas intimate MTV unplugged album, no guitar highlights are apparent. In most respects, Cobain was an innovative songwriter and bandleader. He should be credited as having been one of the key players that brought alternative music to the mainstream. Few bands had a sound as full-bodied and expressive as Nirvanas. Joni Mitchell Mitchells diverse use of open tunings is not well-known. Shes used more of them than any recognizable guitarist I can think of. The sound of her lower strings has been compared to that of a snare drum. The sound of her higher ones to that of a cool jazz horn section. Shes even taken to having her electric “VG-8” guitar tuned offstage as each song on her set list is in a different tuning. Still, she is not a technically brilliant guitarist. Dave “The Edge” Evans I  once saw  Evans provide a televised tour of his onstage lineup of pedals and related electronic tools during U2s Zoo TV tour in the early 90s. Among the guitarists whove honed a recognizable niche in alternative music, hes a chief innovator. The haunting opening lines of “With Or Without You” should be considered a revolutionary piece of musical history in of itself â€" a single sustained note over multiple measure of the bass line (not an easy feat actually). The strumming later in the song comes close to imitating the sound of a train. As with Cobain, credit is due as praise for the sound itself â€" not for how fast and flashy he has played it. Amy Ray and Emily Saliers When it comes to attitude and energy (not to mention lyrical brilliance and enough stage presence to convert an entire arena of avid concertgoers into instant fans), nobody compares to Amy and Emily (The Indigo Girls). Theyve penned what I consider to be some of the most memorable songs of the last two (nearly three) decades (ie “Closer To Fine”, “Joking”, “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee”, “Least Complicated”). As is true with many of the others mentioned, unforgettable guitar licks are few (if any) on their albums and in their live shows. Theyve given us a beautiful tapestry of poetry and emotion thats easy for most of us to appreciate and understand. What did you think of this list? Are there any famous guitar players youd like to add? Let us know in the comments below! Samuel B. teaches beginner  guitar lessons in Austin, TX.

You can find videos, songs and T-shirts to mark the occasion. Many also count it as a day to eat lots of pie. Why is the number Pi, denoted by the Greek letter p and pronounced “pie,” worthy of so much praise? Pi   is one of the most common constants in all of mathematics. It is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter or approximately 3.1415926. This year, the day is even more special since it’s 3-14-15. According to PiDay.org, Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. While only a handful of digits are needed for typical calculations, Pi’s infinite nature makes it a fun challenge to memorize, and to computationally calculate more and more digits. Here are some ways to find p if you don’t have a pie or calculator:
