This lesson covers the power rule for exponents. Students learn the power rule, which states that when simplifying a power taken to another power, multiply the exponents. For example, (x^2)^3 = x^6. To simplify (6x^6)^2, square the coefficient and multiply the exponent times 2, to get 36x^12.

$Midpoint Formula | MathHelp.com Need a custom math course? Visit https://www.MathHelp.com Today! In this example, we’re asked to find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (10, 1) and (2, -7), so we use the midpoint formula, which states that the midpoint of the line segment joining two points is parentheses x1 + x2 over 2…comma… y1 + y2 over 2 closed parentheses. Our first point, (10, 1), represents (x1, y1), and our second point, (2, -7), represents (x2, y2). So plugging the given information into the formula, we have parentheses x1, or 10, + x2, or 2, over 2…comma…y1, or 1, + y2, or -7, over 2, closed parentheses. Next, simplifying in the numerators, 10 + 2 is 12, so we have 12/2, and 1 + -7 is -6, so we have -6 over 2. Finally we simplify our fractions. 12/2 is 6, and -6 over 2 is -3. So the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (10, 1) and (2, -7) is (6, -3).$

$Imaginary Numbers | MathHelp.com Need a custom math course? Visit http://www.MathHelp.com. This lesson covers imaginary numbers. Students learn that the imaginary number i is equal to the square root of -1, which means that i^2 is equal to (the square root of -1) squared, which equals -1. Students also learn to simplify imaginary numbers. For example, to simplify the square root of -81, think of it as the square root of -1 times the square root of 81, which simplifies to i times 9, or 9i. To simplify 11/8i, the first step is to get rid of the i in the denominator by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by i, to get 11i/8i^2, and remember that i^2 = -1, so we have 11i/8(-1), or 11i/-8, or -11i/8.$

$Graphing Lines Using an X/Y Chart | MathHelp.com Need a custom math course? Visit http://www.MathHelp.com. This lesson covers graphing lines using an x/y chart. Students learn to graph a given linear equation using a chart. For example, to graph the equation y = x - 4, pick three values for x, such as -1, 0, and 1, and substitute these values into the equation to find the corresponding values of y. Next, plot the resulting points on a coordinate system and graph the line that passes through them. To graph the equation 3x + 5y = 5, first solve for y, to get y = -3/5x + 1. Then set up a chart, pick three values of x, such as -5, 0, and 5 (multiples of 5 so that the corresponding values of y will not be fractions), find the corresponding values of y, and graph the line.$
