Just Blaze Extravaganza: Jay Electronica–Exhibit C, Nas–The Scientist, Saigon–It’s Alright, Saigon–Say Yes Pt. 2

Easy Long Multiplication

So it can be difficult for people to do long multiplication in their heads. Luckily, the distributive property of multiplication and division can make it easier. Distributive property: a(b + c)=ab + ac. This can help, because basically, if you have two numbers multiplied by each other, you can split one or [...]

Understanding Positive and Negative Exponents

So you may be in algebra or algebra II, and be introduced to negative exponents. Here’s a good way of understanding how they work. When you have an exponent, like b^x, where b is the base, you can split b into b*1, since all numbers are itself times one, this may make it [...]

Essential Basic Algebra Transformations, and Probability in terms of Odds

Okay…here’s a type of algebra transformation that can be counterintuitive if you get stuck at a certain point but is very important!
Say you have odds=p/(1-p), where p=probability. How do you solve for probability in terms of odds? You might start with multiplying both sides by (1-p) which leaves you with odds(1-p)=p. [...]
