Intro To Algebra

Intro To Algebra Algebra is the branch of mathematics that deals with operations on numbers. These operations can be multiplication, division, subtraction or addition. In algebra numbers represented as variables are used. In addition to that there are mathematical statements termed as expressions that include numbers along with one or more variables. In algebra equations are used. Equations are statements showing equality of two expressions or numbers. Example 1: Explain the addition, subtraction in algebra with the help of suitable illustration. Solution: (a) Addition: Addition means increasing a number by an amount equal to the other number. For example, add 3 to 2. Here 3 is added in 2. That means 2 is increased by an amount equal to 3. Thus on increasing 2 by an amount equal to 3 we get 5. Thus 2 + 3 = 5. (b) Subtraction: Subtraction means decreasing a number by an amount equal to the other number. For example, subtract 4 from 6. This means 6 is decreased by an amount equal to 4. Thus on decreasing 6 by an amount equal to 4 we get 2. Thus 6 4 = 2. Example 2: Explain the equation 3y 4x = 7 in words. Solution: An equation represents the equality of two numbers or expression. On the left hand side we have two variables y and x. Left hand side of the given equation represents a quantity obtained by subtracting four times variable x from three times variable y. This quantity obtained on the left hand side is equal to the number on the right hand side of the equation that is 7.

How to Create Your First College Schedule

How to Create Your First College Schedule One of the most exciting parts of starting college is the newfound freedomadjusting to dorm life, choosing when you go to class, and what courses you take. Your ability to choose courses in high school was likely limited; you probably didnt have too many options to choose from, since most credits were mandated. However, colleges offer an array of choices for every interest. How do you choose courses for your first semester of college? Creating your first college schedule can seem exciting but also daunting. No matter how you feel about your new freedom, be sure to follow these tips when creatingyour first college schedule. 1. Be realistic when creating your schedule With all of the new and exciting class options, its natural to get excited and want to try them all. However, do not overload your course schedule during the first semester. College is a huge transition, and not just in terms of academics. Adjusting to your new life will be work in itself. Each college has a different recommended number of courses to take per semester. Do not plan on exceeding this recommended amountat least in your first semester. Its also important to be realistic when it comes to your lifestyle. Choosing all night classes may seem like a great idea (you get to sleep in!), but if you know you are most productive before nightfall, you may not want to heavily load all of your classes into the late afternoon. Furthermore, having later classes does not necessarily translate into sleeping in. If your afternoons and nights are consumed with class time, your mornings will need to be reserved for studying, homework, and assigned readings. It may come in handy to have an early class that forces you to be up and productive. Your first semester is a great time to discover what your best habits are. Mixing up your class schedule to discover when you are most productive can help determine your future schedules. 2. Use your schedule to plan ahead for later in your college career College is a marathon, not a sprint. Every college has different requirements that you must meet before graduation, and each degree comes with its own set of requirements as well. Before beginning to choose classes, make sure you are aware of your schools education requirements. If you know what you would like to major in, you should also be aware of the prerequisites needed to enter the program and to graduate. A rough four-year plan can make each semesters scheduling an easier process. Map out the classes you know you will have to take and tentatively place them in a four-year schedule. This planning can ensure you arent stuck with a 20-credit semester senior year in order to graduate on time (or, that you must delay graduation). Use a class catalogue to do some research on the types of classes you are planning to take before setting your schedule in stone. Some classes have extra requirements, and its important to know those before the class begins. Does your class require an extra lab? Will you be required to participate in a service learning project that takes place over the weekend? These components might be required to pass the class, so be sure you can complete them before you sign up. 3. Maintain a balance of requirements and electives in your class schedule Your first instinct may be to spend your first semester knocking out all of your required classes. General education classes, typically referred to as gen eds, are classes outside of your major that must be completed to reach your degree. These requirements ensure that all graduates have a well-rounded education and the opportunity to acquire a variety of skills. In addition, these classes are most beneficial when scattered throughout your academic career, over several semestersloading up on these requirements in one semester will not provide you with the maximum benefit. Gen ed classes complement your major classes, allowing you to make connections between disciplines and gain skillsets that can help you in your future career. Plan to take a few general education classes each semester, along with classes in your major. 4. Expand your horizons by signing up for new courses As a college freshman, it is completely normal to be unsure about what you want to do with the rest of your life. College is a time to explore and discover your interests. Even if you do know what you want to study, its important to use your first semester as a time to expand your interests. Try to take one or two classes that interest you, even if they arent in your planned major. You may find that your original plans changeperhaps you decide to double major or minor in a new subject. At the very least, youll likely discover a new interest. Many colleges offer seminars and workshops specifically for freshman that cater to their interests, or even that help with the college transitioning process. These classes are a great way to meet other students who share your interests, while helping you hone your college skills. You never know what you can learn from a sports in history class, an event planning class, or even a class on Harry Potter. Find what peaks your interest, and see where it may take you.

Build Your French Vocabulary What Do You Do For Fun

Build Your French Vocabulary What Do You Do For Fun Sign up successful Check out the list below for some common words and phrases used when describing what you do for fun: French Vocabulary for Activities We Enjoy Whether  relaxing at the beach, catching up on our favorite TV shows, or  going on a family vacation, we all have activities that we love and enjoy. Here are a few French vocabulary terms to describe common activities many of us enjoy. Regarder la télé ?  Watch television Parler au téléphone ? Talk on the phone Lire ? To read Faire de l’équitation ? Go horse riding Faire de la natation ?  Go swimming Faire du sport ? Do sports Voyager ? Travel French Vocabulary For Activities We Dont Enjoy However,  there are also things we hate doing or rarely do. While some of us may like faire les magasins (to go shopping), others of us  hate it. Some of us love  sortir avec les copains (to go out with friends), while others prefer to spend  time alone. Either way, we all have  activities that we just don’t like doing.  Check out some examples below: Faire le ménage ? Housework/chores Faire de devoirs ? Do homework Étudier  ?  Study Jouer au golf ? Play golf Faire du jogging ? Go jogging Using French Vocabulary in Context When it comes to the activities we enjoy or don’t enjoy, in French, we always put J’aime ou je n’aime pas (I like or I don’t like) before the activities that we either enjoy or don’t enjoy. For example, maybe tu aimes danser (you like to dance), but  tu n’aimes pas écouter de la musique (you don’t like to listen to music). Or, maybe tu aimes jouer au foot (you like to play soccer), but  tu n’aimes pas jouer aux cartes (you don’t like to play cards). Here are some more examples: J’aime sortir avec les copains. â€" I like to go out with my friends. Vous aimez voyager ou faire du sport? â€" Do you [formal] like to travel or do sports? Elles n’aiment pas étudier. â€" They [girls] don’t like to study. Il n’aime pas faire les magasins. â€" He doesn’t like to go shopping. Nous aimons chanter. â€" We like to sing. Elle n’aime pas tellement jouer au tennis. â€" She doesn’t really like to play tennis. J’aime surtout fair du ski nautique. â€" I especially love to water ski. Ils n’aime pas beaucoup faire de la photo. â€" They [boys or boys and girls] especially don’t like to take photos. Additionally, if you want to ask someone if they like to do something, you just say, Est-ce que vous/tu aimez/aimes…  (Do you like to…), and then add in the activity. For example: Est-ce que tu aimes jouer à des jeux video? (Do you [informal] like to play video games?) Est-ce que vous aimez faire de l’athlétisme? (Do you [formal] like to do athletics?) Describing How Often You Perform  an Activity If you want to mention how often you do any  activity, here are some French vocabulary words  to describe the frequency with  which  you perform a particular activity. Jamais ? Never De temps en temps ? From time to time/occasionally Souvent ? Often Rarement ? Rarely Tous les jours ?  Every day ____ fois par semaine  ? ____ times a week Une fois/deux fois/trois fois par semaine ? Once/twice/three times a week Quelquefois ? Sometimes For the most part, these frequency words and phrases come after the verb and before the activity itself. For example: Je ne fais jamais du sport (I never play sports) or Je fais souvent de la natation (I often go swimming) or Je joues quelquefois au foot (I sometimes like to play soccer). However, de temps en temps  and  ___ fois par semaine  go at the end of the sentence. For example: J’aime écouter de la musique de temps en temps (I like to listen to music occasionally) or J’aime faire du jogging deux fois par semaine (I like to go jogging twice a week). Now that you know how to talk about the activities you like and don’t like doing, time for some devoirs. If you want your French to improve, you have to practice. So, how about writing down what you like to do and how often you do it in French. Then, say what you don’t like to do and how often you do or don’t do those activities. Have fun, and a tout à l’heure! Post Author:  Emmanuel N. Emmanuel N. teaches online Spanish and singing lessons.

9 Things To Do To Set You Up for Success in Your New Job - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / 9 Things To Do To Set You Up for Success in Your New Job - Introvert Whisperer 9 Things To Do To Set You Up for Success in Your New Job Congrats! After all the hard work and effort on your job search, you landed a great job. You deserve to feel excited. The next step is to start your new job and move past the learning curve. As you’re starting to think through important things like when you have to get up in the morning and when you will do your workout, there’s one very big thing to plan. How to be a major success in this job? It’s ok to admit that’s what you’re shooting for. What you do in the first 90-120 days in your new job will “set the tone” for how your time in the job (and company) will go. When you were looking for a job one of the things you had to think about was the first impression you made on decision makers. Generally, you only have one chance to make a good first impression and that chance was maybe a minute long. Your first few months on a new job are when the first impression and a lasting impression on the people you work with are formed. It is the time you build your Personal Brand. It’s a much more critical time than anyone realizes and is often written off because you’re in a learning curve. And everyone is given a break during a learning curve, right? Yes and no. Yes because we all know what learning curves are like. No, because we’re humans and still expect you to deliver. Here is your “New Job Strategy” #1 â€" Learn your job by understanding the expectations. Spend time with your boss and key co-workers to not only show you the tasks and how to do them but what do they expect. This is your performance. We get too wrapped up in the task and fail to realize that those people do have expectations for how we do the work. Ask early and often. #2 â€" Learn people and process. All businesses hang together by various processes. You may be only 1 of many in the entire clockwork of a process. If you learn the entire process or business, your ability to think outside the box goes up significantly. It will also help you to better understand how your work interplays with others. #3 â€" Learn the boss. You need to learn many things about your boss. You need to understand what their work priorities are so you can support them with your work and communication. You need to discover how they learn and how they best take in information. To ignore this is to irritate the boss and create a poor impression. #4 â€" Figure out problems and solve them. Plan on an early win. Our work is all about solving problems if you think about it. As you are going through and learning the things outlined above, be looking for problems you can solve quickly. Try to contain your solutions to your own scope of work or minimally only a couple of others. Do not attempt to solve world hunger because you won’t have the clout built up to be given money and resources. You do want to solve problems that have visibility so when you are done; it becomes an affirmation that you were a good hire. #5 â€" Do not bad mouth how things are being done. One problem newbies have sometimes is making the mistake of unearthing business problems and make disparaging remarks about them. You do not know who may have implemented the very thing you are trying to improve. Take the approach that you can see opportunities for improvement. Your approach and attitude are critical. #6 â€" Don’t boast about your previous employers/job. It doesn’t matter if you worked directly for the Pope. No one wants to hear how great things were in your other job. Its not relevant to this job and may get people wishing you had stayed at the previous job. Do not compare and don’t put down people or companies. #7 â€" Ask for feedback Don’t make the assumption that “no news is good news” when it comes to your work. Ask for feedback on a routine basis and if you have things to improve take that as a sign that you better improve quickly. #8 â€" Learn the culture You can be doing all things right but if you fail to “read” the culture and learn to adapt to it, you will never fit in. A work culture is the way people interact, how decisions get made and even language. It can include things like informal leaders within the group that need your attention. Understanding a group’s culture is tricky because it can be very subtle. It can be done with observation and asking questions. #9 â€" Build relationships While you are hunkered down learning all these new things, don’t fail to ignore that a big part of your success will be with and through other people. Make a point to get to know your co-workers. Keep in mind that your first impression will last for a long time. By doing these things, you will position yourself for success and a strong Personal Brand. Personal Branding starts with how well you speak about YOU. I want to help you accelerate your career by connecting you with your Free Instant Access to my eBook â€" The Definitive Guide to Creating and Using an Elevator Speech. In this guide, I give you simple to follow instructions for creating a “wardrobe” of ways to talk about you â€" to leave a lasting impression. Get your copy now by clicking here.

36 Top Experts on the Best Career Resolutions for 2017 - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / 36 Top Experts on the Best Career Resolutions for 2017 - Introvert Whisperer 36 Top Experts on the Best Career Resolutions for 2017 Every year we make New Year’s resolutions like “eat healthy” and “run five miles a week” and “volunteer,” things that are usually manageable until the middle of February. Wouldn’t it be great if they made it through the entire year!? This year, instead of trying to make it to the gym every day, consider adding manageable actions to your list that will further your career and better your professional development. We asked top career experts for their advice for making career resolutions you’ll want to keep, here’s what they had to say: “The one New Year’s resolution to make this year (and actually keep!) to benefit your professional development would be to become a better networker.  Nothing can advance your career faster than being a good networker.  So, in 2017, you should not only find and attend networking events that can further your career but you should also dedicate some time to hone your networking skills.  Being a great networker doesn’t just happen â€" it must be practiced! Make 2017 the year that your networking efforts pay off!” Jennifer Gefsky, Co-founder of Après “Update your photo on LinkedIn. How old or outdated or appropriate is it for your current career stage? Recruiters (and I am one) still look at photos and we will jump over a profile that is without one or lacking a professional photo. That picture from a wedding 10 years ago isn’t right for you now. Update using a true photographer or have a friend with a great camera take a bunch of shots and choose the best.” Lora B. Poepping, President, Plum Coaching Consulting “The best thing you can do to benefit your career and professional development â€" is to help others within your networking sphere. To position yourself as The Go-To Candidate Everyone Wants on Their Team… 1) Introduce your contacts to  key individuals you know who can help them, 2) Write a positive review about your contacts in social media, or 3) Offer to volunteer at your contacts’ next extracurricular project.” Grant Cooper, CARW, Founder President, Strategic Resumes Business Plans “Seek out a trusted ‘partner in action’ to help guide you in taking the first step towards your career goal, be it a career coach, professional mentor, etc. The one reason why people don’t keep their resolutions is because they don’t actually take the first step needed, or don’t know how to get started. A resolution is useless without action!” Vicki Aubin, Career Transition Personal Branding Consultant, The Rockin’ Career Coach “My professional development resolution is to have a coffee or a peppermint mocha with extra whip with an industry idolâ€"anyone I admire and want to emulateâ€"once a month. I believe you can learn a lot more about a person over a cup of coffee than 100 webinars.” Kayla Kozan, Director of Marketing, Ideal “Decide what you need to give yourself permission for this year to ensure you are not the barrier from meeting your goals. It may be you need to give yourself permission to try new things and fail. It may be to give yourself permission to put your needs first. It may be permission to speak up  or permission to quiet your inner critic/self-doubt.” Amy Wolfgang, Career/Leadership Coach Owner, Wolfgang Career Coaching “Focusâ€"Know what your professional (career) goal for the coming year is, pick one relevant professional development experience (education, training, etc.), and make sure it can be accomplished within the yearâ€"or, worst case, break it into components and schedule the bulk of it for completion during the year. Then DO IT!” Georgia Adamson, MRW / ACRW / CPRW / CJSS / CEIP, CEO, A Successful Career “Know thyself. The more you know about what you naturally do well (vs. acquired skills), what you do to get in your own way (e.g., limiting beliefs), and what you truly desire (vs. what others expect), the better you will be able to find satisfaction and excellence in your work. This is when a job is more than a job or even a career. It becomes a calling. Be willing to invest in this process (e.g., books, group programs, individual coaching).” Carol Ross, Career Integration Coach, Carol Ross and Associates LLC “Keep it simple. If you find the stories developing in your head, remind yourself you could be complicating things and look for a simple explanation. If you don’t have one, ask for it, and don’t overthink. Sometimes things are simpler than they seem.” Tanya Ezekiel, CEO and Executive Coach, CareerCoach.com “The career planning task that every individual should do ASAP is to assess the likelihood that their jobs will be automated out of existence. They can visit this site: Will Your Job Be Done By A Machine? input their field and job title, and look at the results. And if they conclude there’s an uncomfortable likelihood their job will be automated, then they need to: identify a “safe” career pivot, develop the skills they need to make the change via on-the-job, online education sources, and more formal training and start job hunting to make the change.” Donna Svei, Executive Resumes LinkedIn Profiles, Retained Search, AvidCareerist.com “Many professionals consider their professional development only in “crisis mode” instead of planning early (save costs, get good seats) and implementing sound career trajectory strategy. As much as possible, invest in development that leans toward your next career step with or without your boss’s blessing or buy-in.” Mark Anthony Dyson, Founder, The Voice of Job Seekers “Whether you are looking for a job or seeking more professional satisfaction I highly recommend that you become an active member of a professional association. My clients have had many successes after actively participating in their respective trade associations because it has been the most effective way to meet people in their  field, make friends that share similar interests  and stay abreast of current developments in their field.” Lynn Berger, Career Counselor and Coach “The one New Year’s resolution I personally keep and that I advise my clients to keep is to find thought leaders in your industry â€" those you admire and aspire to be and then follow them on social media, read their blog posts, enroll in their online training programs or webinars so you can learn from the best. This is the greatest benefit to your professional development and it’s easy to keep because you enjoy following their work and learning from them.” Jessica Holbrook Hernandez, President/CEO, Great Resumes Fast “Do one thing each day to further your professional developmentâ€"whether that’s reading an article or book chapter, having lunch with someone in your network, attending a professional event, or spending time to update your LinkedIn profile.” Mitchell Friedman, Ed.D., APR, Career Coach “Establish your short and long-term career goals, and proactively identify the experience, skills, and professional development you’ll need to achieve them.” Marty Weitzman, NCRW, IJCTC, RPBS, Managing Director, Gilbert Resumes “The best gift a person can give themselves is to increase their emotional intelligence.  At a professional level, your ability to connect to others effectively will be the difference between a career with very little traction and one that moves like a rocket.  There are books and classes to take on the broader topic of emotional intelligence or you can hone in on such things as increasing your ability to influence, reading body language or communications.” PERSONAL BRANDING Personal Branding starts with how well you speak about YOU.  I want to help you accelerate your career by connecting you with your Free Instant Access to my eBook â€" The Definitive Guide to Creating and Using an Elevator Speech.  In this guide, I give you simple to follow instructions for creating a “wardrobe” of ways to talk about you â€" to leave a lasting impression.

Tutorfair in National Science and Engineering Week

Tutorfair in National Science and Engineering Week Tutorfair has been very excited to take part in National Science and Engineering week.  It has prompted us to reflect on the importance of STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) in the modern world. Forty years ago, there were no mobile phones in sight, yet now they are everywhere and most people own one. We live in a world with groovy gadgets, transport to almost anywhere and medical advances finding more and more treatments for life-threatening diseases. All of these would not be around without science, maths, technology and engineering. These subjects enable innovation that is crucial for the future! Yet, as our tutors have discovered, science and maths are subjects which children often struggle with at school. Of all subjects, tutors are required the most for maths and science. Why is that? Perhaps it has something to do with Dr Carol Dweck’s concept of a fixed mindset where people believe that traits and talents come naturally rather than being cultivated over time (a growth mindset). The phrase ‘I’m not a maths person’ often pops up because it provides this sense of relief to students and almost gives them permission not to try because they are bound to fail anyway. This is what a tutor tries to overcome. Tutors provide students with the confidence to cultivate a love of learning to show that actually, when a student puts in the effort, great achievements are possible! A tutor can also explain the connections showing how these subjects can be applied to the real world. That’s why, in celebration of National Science and Engineering week, we have held three events named ‘STEM Special Meet and Greet’ to encourage more enthusiasts in STEM subjects to become tutors. These great people realise how powerful STEM is in education and are keen to pass on their enthusiasm to others. So why do they love STEM? Tim, a physics undergraduate, loves science because “it’s amazing to understand why and how things happen in the world we live.” Aastha, a postgraduate studying dentistry surgery, added that science is fantastic because “it’s made up of logic and is happening all around you”. And Jasmine, a  maths undergraduate, made us all laugh with her pragmatism: “without maths, how would you calculate discounts? It’s vital for shopping!” Junas, a science teacher added this thoughtful remark: maths is “a universal language. Wherever you go 2+2 will have the same answer.” Junas also runs a STEM after school club for year 8 pupils to help inspire curiosity in these subjects. The sessions link STEM subjects together to show students the bigger picture. Junas loves running these sessions because they have “an impact on students’ actions in life and make them independent.” We also went to an Edtech Investor Speed-Date (in association with NESTA, EdMix and Emerge) giving technological innovators the opportunity to pitch their ideas for improving STEM education to industry experts and investors. One particularly inspiring company was Itis3d which provides 3D printing workshops in schools. We held two Careers and Pathways Workshops for sixth-formers at a London Secondary School, bringing in speakers in the medical and engineering professions to explain why they chose their career and how they got there. Moreover, we were very lucky on Tuesday to have a special treat visit from the expert maths and science author Simon Singh, who shared his vision to inspire young people in STEM. See our interview with him here to find out more. We’ve certainly had a Eureka week! We need to excite the future generation about science, maths, technology and engineering; these subjects are fun as well as importnt! Professionals in STEM careers can transform the world â€" solving complex problems of today such as climate change, world hunger and inter-dependent world economy! STEM inspires innovation and this is why it is imperative to enthuse the young generation about its importance and its relevance to our everyday lives. If you or your child needs help with any of the STEM subjects then please visit the Tutorfair website and book a private chemistry tutor, private biology tutor, private physics tutor, private general science tutor or even a private maths tutor to come to your house.

Adversity Score

Adversity Score In May 2019, the College Board announced a plan to provide college admissions officers a dashboard that gives context to an applicants neighborhood and high school with that students SAT score reports. Dubbed the adversity score by news outlets, the metricactually called the Environmental Context Dashboard (ECD)was intended to allow colleges to incorporate a students school and environmental context into their admissions process in a data-driven way. The ECD was designed to allow admissions officers the opportunity to view a students academic accomplishment in the context of where they live and learn. Introducing Landscape In August 2019, the College Board shared its plans to improve upon the idea of the Environmental Context Dashboard by revising and renaming the tool Landscape. Landscape will provide information about a students neighborhood and high school, helping colleges consider the context in the application review process. The revised resource is intended to help admissions officers fairly consider every applicant. It does not replace the individual information included in a students application (such as GPA, personal essay and high school transcript). It also shows how an applicants SAT or ACT score compares to the scores of other students at the same high school. Heres a quick summary of the information presented in Landscape: High school data, including city/suburban town types and rural town type Senior class size % of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch Average SAT scores at colleges attended by the three most recent cohorts of college-bound seniors at the applicants high school (who took College Board assessments) Advanced Placement exams (participation and performance) SAT and ACT test score comparison (of the student vs. average scores at their high school) Neighborhood and high school indicators, including: Predicted probability of students from the neighborhood/high school enrolling in a four-year college Household structure (married/coupled families, single-parent families and children living under the poverty line) Median family income Housing stability (vacancy rates, rental vs. homeownership, mobility/housing turnover) Education level Crime The College Board explains that colleges have long considered context about students high schools and neighborhoods when making admissions decisions. Landscape is intended to make this process easier and help admissions offers gather consistent information. Learn more about the new Landscape tool and how colleges will use it at www.collegeboard.org.
