Distributive Property

Distributive Property Distributive property is a well known property of binary operations that basically deals with the distributive law. This property can be explained by taking three variables x, y and z. This can be represented as follows: - x* (y + z) = x*y + x*z This can be more clarified by taking suitable examples. Problem 1: Evaluate the following by the use of distributive property a) 2 * ( 3 + 5) b)4* ( 6 + 5) c)3* (10 + 10) Solution: (a) Given 2* (3+5) = By applying Distributive property that is x* (y + z) = x*y + x*z = Therefore 2* (3+5) = 2*3 + 2*5 = 6 + 10 = 16 (b) Given 4* (6+5) = By applying Distributive property that is x* (y + z) = x*y + x*z = Therefore 2* (3+5) = 4*6 + 4*5 = 24 + 20 = 44 (c) Given 3* (10 + 10 ) = By applying Distributive property that is x* (y + z) = x*y + x*z = Therefore 3* (10 + 10) = 3 * 10 + 3* 10 = 30 + 30 = 60. Problem 2: Solve i (i+ i). Here i is iota of complex number. Solution: Given i (i+ i) = By applying Distributive property that is x* (y + z) = x*y + x*z = Therefore, i * (i+ i) = i*i + i*i = i^2 + i^2 = -1 + (-1) ( Because value of i^2 = -1) = -2.

Jointly Proportional

Jointly Proportional Jointly proportional is also known as joint variation. It is very much like a direct variation with a difference that the joint proportional involves more than one variable.If the ratio of a variable y to the product of two or more variables is constant, then y varies jointly. In other words we can say that it is jointly proportional to other variables. This can be represented mathematically as y = k * x* z where the variable k is the constant of variation. Example 1: The volume of wood in a tree varies jointly as the height and inversely as the square of the girth. The volume of a tree is 144 cubic meterswhen the height is 20 meters and the girth is 1.5 meters. What will be the height of a tree with a volume of 1000 cubic metersand girth of 2 meters? Solution: We set up the equation according to the problem V = (k * height)/ girth ^2 We plug in the value of V, height and girth to find k 144 = (k * 20)/ 1.5 ^2 k = (144 * 1.5 ^2) / 20 = 16.2 Now we can plug in the new values to find the new height. 1000 = (16.2 * height)/ 2 ^2 Height = (1000 * 4)/ 16.2 = 246.91meters Example 2: Given that a varies jointly with b and c. If a = 45 when b= 5 and c = 3 then find the constant of variation? Solution: a = k * b * c 45 = k * 5* 3 k = 45 / 15 = 3

5 Basic Rules of Italian Pronunciation

5 Basic Rules of Italian Pronunciation Brooke Neuman Learning new vocabulary doesnt get you far  unless you know proper Italian pronunciation. Italian  is known for being one of the most beautiful languages, and learning how to correctly speak it  is all  about mastering the right sounds. In this article, youll learn  the five basic rules of Italian pronunciation for beginners. 5 Rules for Italian Pronunciation Lets take a look at five  Italian pronunciation rules to help you better understand this language. After the video, keep scrolling for more detail on these helpful tips and tricks! 1. Vowels Similar to the English language, Italian uses the  vowels, a, e, i, o, u. However, there is a slight difference in the way vowels are pronounced in Italian. Here is how to pronounce Italian vowels. Remember that most words in Italian end in a vowel! A- Ah (as in, Amore) Practice it: Ah-moh-reh E- Eh (as in,  Bene) Practice it: Beh-neh I- eee (as in,  Vino) Practice it: Vee-noh O- Oh (as in,  Modo) Practice it: Moh-doh U- ooh (as in,  Lungo) Practice it: Loohn-goh 2. Consonants Some Italian consonants such as b,  f,  m,  n, and v   are pronounced the same as they are in English. The majority, however, are pronounced much differently. Below are some tips for how to pronounce Italian consonants. If you need to hear them sounded out, watch the video above for more explanation. D- Put your tongue to your teeth, to make the sound more explosive (for example,  dove) L- Sharper and more forward (for example, lingua) H- Usually silent (for example, hanno) P- A little less forced than in English (for example, pane) Q- Always accompanied with a U after (for example, quanto) R- Make sure you roll the R’s by flipping your tongue against your upper teeth  (for example, arriverderci) T- Very pronounced (for example, antipasto) Z- Often can sound like T, but add more zest to it, especially when two Z’s are together (for example,  pizza) There are some consonants in the Italian language that have two unique pronunciations, such as: S and SS- If S is used singular, in the middle of a word, it can often sound like a Z. If a double S (SS) is present, then the S is very much emphasized. (For example, casa, passare) Z and ZZ- When used singular, it can be silent, as in Dizionario, but when doubled in Pizza it can sound more like a T. G- If G appears before the letters A, O, or U, it has a hard sound like Grande, but if it precedes E or I, like in Gelato, it  has a soft and gentle sound. C- Before A, O, or U, it sounds like a K, as in Cane, but if before I or E, it has a CH sound, as in Cena. 3. Consonant Digraphs Another important thing to know about when learning Italian pronunciation is that there are several consonant digraphs in Italian. These are combinations of two letters that make one sound. Memorizing these combinations will allow you to more easily recognize the pronunciation of words. Below are some examples of how to pronounce Italian consonant digraphs correctly. CH- Spoken as K  (for example,  Che) GN- G is silent and N is hard (for example,  Gnocchi) GLI- G is silent, and L is the focus  (for example,  Famiglia) SC- Before A, O, and U, it sounds like SK (for example,  Scarpe). But if its before I or E, it has a SH sound as in Pesce. SEE ALSO: Fun and Interesting Facts About Italy 4. Double Consonants Many Italian words have double consonants.  It’s wise to remember that all consonants can be doubled except for the letter H because its always silent. Its common for English speakers to stumble over double consonants since there are very few in the English language. Heres a helpful hint: double consonants have a stronger and more  forced pronunciation together. For example, the CC is pronounced as K in the word Secca. 5. Phonetics Italian is a phonetic language, which means its written the way it sounds, and visa versa. This makes it fairly easy for English speakers to learn Italian pronunciation, compared to other languages. Nonetheless, its very important that you take the time to learn correct pronunciation.  There are tons of fun exercises that you can do to practice. Try singing popular Italian songs such as “Volare or That’s Amore” to really get the feel of the pronunciation. You can also  watch some Italian TV or listen to Italian radio. With these tips youll be speaking perfect Italian in no time! Post Author:  Liz T.

What is it Like to Attend the College for Creative Studies

What is it Like to Attend the College for Creative Studies Dareno earned his bachelors degree in animation and special effects from the College for Creative Studies. He specializes in art tutoring, geometry tutoring, and a number of other subjects. Below, he shares his experience at the College for Creative Studies. Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Dareno: Both the main campus and its secondary counterpart are in the hub of midtown Detroit. The main campus is surrounded by the cultural district, which includes a public library, a historical museum, an art museum, and a science center. Theres a dedicated shuttle that transports students between both campuses. To get to downtown from the school, there's the Q-line streetcar. The school is also in very close proximity to the Amtrak train station and several bus stops. How available are the professors, academic advisors, and teaching assistants? Dareno:They are usually always available to help out their students. Even if their schedules are relatively busy, theyll make time to meet with you. How would you describe the dorm liferooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students, etc.? Dareno:Dorm life is whatever you make it. Some love it, some hate it. The Taubman campus dorms are much more modern than the Ford campus counterpart. The Ford campus is more historic. Since the buildings are older, though, there tends to be a lot of maintenance issues. Dining options are better at the Taubman campus than the Ford campus. The Taubman features a grill spot on the first level, a small food court on the second level, and a self-serving commissary-type room on the sixth level. Ford campus has a Starbucks, a grill around the corner, and another self-serving food station. Outside the school, there's a slew of different eateries and plenty of restaurants along Woodward Avenue. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? What did you study and why? Dareno:Transportation design is the most represented and supported area. Entertainment arts is definitely second. I studied animation, a concentration of entertainment arts, because I really love storytelling and the classes available are awesome. How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Dareno:It was somewhat easy, but also somewhat hard. There are a variety of diverse social groups and clubs, which allow you to meet others who have the same interests as you. How helpful are the Career Center and other student support services? Dareno:The Career Center is very keen on finding suitable internships for students. There's also career workshops which are held very frequently for students. How are the various study areas, such as libraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Dareno:The library at the Ford campus is the perfect place to study or do a project in peace. Its very quiet most of the time and staff are usually very helpful and nice. It's not the biggest space, but it's definitely adequate. Describe the surrounding town. Dareno:Midtown Detroit is artsy, cultural, historic, and quintessentially urban. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Dareno:The student body hovers around 1,400 undergraduate students. I was neutral about class sizes. Most of the time, it averaged about 15-to-20 students. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one you regret the most. Dareno:I had a class called 2D digital animation, which dealt with After Effects and compositing or animating imagery. For our final project, we had to produce a piece with subject matter that was personal to us. The class absolutely loved my project. Check out Darenos tutoring profile.

When Should You Start Applying for University

When Should You Start Applying for University How to Beat the University Application Deadline ChaptersUnderstanding UCASThe UCAS TimelineFactors That Impact Students’ Application FilingThe Best Time to Apply for UniversityLate ApplicationsAs sure as summer follows spring, the majority of students approaching the end of their secondary education phase are contemplating their future.Thoughts like what they will do with their life, what career aspirations they’ve secretly harboured and which areas of study will most likely get them there are regular fodder around the dinner table.You may also discuss your options with your school counselor or among your circle of friends; not every family gathers ‘round the table for their meals…In the past, the figurative stampede of college admissions and tracking offers made by universities across the country had overwhelmed the online application system known as UCAS, causing it to crash repeatedly.Fortunately, that situation has been remedied. Now, thanks to cloud computing, the UCAS portal is safe from swamping; no matter how many prospective students log on at the same time, the system will not fail them.In the past, avoiding such system backlogs was reason enough to accord the question of when to apply for admission substantial weight. Now, it takes a backseat to other considerations.Your Superprof now looks at all of the factors that might decide when to apply to university, including circumstances that have nothing to do with the admission process.accepting an offer until they’d heard back from every school they’d applied to.Sometimes the wait for their application status would cause them to miss out on university altogether. In the old days, before the Internet, the common application for university was a more cumbersome process! Image by andreas160578 from PixabayOn the other side of the fence, admissions committees were unable to screen every single application and respond on time. Another admissions process stumbling block was a lack of overview of all the applications made.And, because admission requirements varied from school to school, students often overlooked a crucial part of their admission application.Often, while prospective students dithered over which offer they should accept, schools failed to fill all of the seats they had to offer.The whole system was inefficient. Something had to be done!The Committee of the Vice-Chancellors and Principals, formerly known as CVCP and now operating under the name Universities UK, studied these and other problems relating to university application at length, ultimately resolving to set up an entity that would connect students with schools.What we know as UCAS grew out of two forerunners: the UCCA for university applications and the PCAS for polytechnic school applications.Tertiary schools were not compelled to subscribe to either of these organisations but, when they saw how streamlined the applications process became; they couldn’t sign on fast enough!Today, except for two notable exceptions, everyone â€" ‘home’ or international student must apply to university through the online system.For step by step instructions, you may refer to Superprof’s ‘how to apply to university’ guide.The two exceptions to applying through UCAS are if you plan to study only part-time or if you will engage in online education.The UCAS TimelineNaturally, getting a national clearinghouse for university enrolment off the ground was not without its hiccups; the system crashes mentioned earlier are a remarkable example of such.  Still, with every passing enrolment season, the UCAS system gets better and better.It helps that computer technology has advanced to the degree that it has; also, student input is enormously valuable in tailoring the system to meet the needs of all parties concerned.  That is the best reason for filling out the student surveys, don’tcha know!Perhaps the handiest utility provided to you on the UCAS website is ‘Key Dates’, a listing of dates and deadlines that impact university applications.For instance, if you’ve not gotten any offers from your January 15th application deadline for undergraduate admissions, you should keep your eye on the Extra opening date. February 25th is when you may add another school to your list of choices.The UCAS calendar of events relating to university applications clearly highlights what happens (or should happen) on or by any given date.Another key feature that makes this schedule easy to decipher is colour-coding: information for undergraduates is highlighted in bright red while students vying for a spot in a conservatoire should look for a lovely blue shade.Tea chers are relegated to bright yellow; their events are hard to miss!Once you’ve registered with UCAS, do keep a keen eye on their calendar of events; it will proclaim activities you should be aware of as well as deadlines you shouldn’t miss.Join the discussion: what is your method for choosing a course?

Even as you prepare for your GCSEs, you should be giving thought to how you will be admitted to university Image by ????????? ???? from PixabayIndeed, your GCSE selections should be made based on your proposed university degree plan. For instance, if you intend to study microbiology at university, you should probably select biology as your science component.Another factor of university education to consider as early as possible is financing: how will you pay for your education?Finding out how grants and student loans work, how to apply for them and how to determine if you qualify for financial assistance should be done long before you apply to university.Of all the reasons students file late university applications, these two dominate.Naturally, there is nothing wrong with being undecided over what you’d like your future career to be or for having financial concerns. Still, neither condition should keep you out of the running for the best university choices.Other reasons that stude nts file late applications include:Uncertainty over the direction your life might takePlans for a gap year: perhaps working or travelling before starting universityUncertainty over marks â€" you’re not sure your test scores will be high enoughInability to get any letters of recommendationYour chance to study abroad fell throughUncertainty over admissions requirementsUncertainty over your prospects for any reason, from financial aid to academic performanceInternational students may have to wait for IELTS or Baccalaureate results or worry about their English proficiencyUncertainty over whether higher education is wanted or warrantedUncertainty over which degree programs to selectProcrastinationOf all of these reasons, only the last is completely within your control.If the only barrier between you and higher education is your habit of putting off till later what could be done now, it makes any other reason you might have for filing a late application moot.Well, there is another reaso n…The Best Time to Apply for UniversityObviously, to have the best shot at the course of study you want, the best time to apply for university is as early as possible â€" meaning as soon as UCAS permits it.To do that, you should have already looked at all your financing options, from supportive family members to tuition loans. Don’t forget to see if you qualify for any grant money; every little bit helps.Also, you should have already written a draft personal statement.The admissions office at university requires you to submit a personal essay that describes your experiences and why you want to enrol at university. The personal statement portion of the UCAS application process stymies most students.However, if you get a very early start on it, maybe brainstorming ideas and writing a skeleton essay that can be fleshed out later, that is one less aggravation (and stressor) that you have to worry about come application time.Even writing a few practice essays wouldn’t hurt; you cou ld get started now if you knew the guidelines for writing a personal statement.Unlike universities in other countries whose admittance is done on a rolling basis, our UCAS application system gives important dates for open application seasons, when your application would be considered late and what you can do about that. You might start drafting your statement of purpose while still preparing for your GCSEs Image by congerdesign from PixabayLate ApplicationsClearly, it’s more advantageous to apply for university in a timely manner; some university admissions boards consider a late application a strike against you because you didn’t comply with application deadlines.If you were hoping for a spot in a popular course of study, applying late virtually guarantees you won’t get one.Still, there are instances when being late can benefit you.You may, in fact, hope to select your courses through Clearing, when universities look for students to fill (usually less popular) courses. If you were undecided about what your future holds, you might just wait to see what washes out from the main wave of applicants.If such a deal still doesn’t suit, why not wait for UCAS Extra?If you’ve received no offers from any universities you’ve applied to or you didn’t like the offers you were made, you might make u se of this function to apply for any still-open classes available.Small warning: you will only be able to apply for one course at a time and must wait for a decision on your application. Nevertheless, thousands of students found their place at university this way and, if all else fails, you can too.You have to admit: UCAS and our universities are very generous in their offerings, deadlines and compromises.Really, it’s up to us to beat the application deadline so we can make the best of what’s offered…
