Dividing with Exponents

Dividing with Exponents Dividing with exponents involves simplification of exponents using the rule of exponents. Most of problems in mathematics deal with exponents. Simplification of exponents leads to solution easily. The most important rule on dividing the exponent is that while dividing the exponent with the same base we have to subtract the powers. The division of exponents is opposite to multiplication because we add the powers when we multiply the exponents with same base. The following examples clearly illustrate the division of expression with exponents. Example 1: Divide 7x^5 / x^-3 Solution: 7x^5 / x^-3 To simplify this use rule of exponents Divide the exponent having like bases; subtract the exponent of variable x in the denominator from the exponent of variable x in the numerator X^5 / x^-3 = x^5-(-3) = x^5+3 = x^8 And 7/1= 7 Therefore, 7x^5 / x^-3 = 7x^8 Example 2: Divide : 4x^3y^2z^-5 / 2x^7yz Solution: Use law of exponent to divide the like terms 4/2 = 2 x^3 / x^7 = x^3-7 = x^-4 y^2 / y = y^2-1 = y^1=y (note that y = y^1 ) Then z^-5 / z = z^-5-1 = z^ -6 Combine all the terms together, we get 2x^-4yz^-6 This is the required solution. Example 3: Divide 15a^3b^4a^2 / 3a^-1b^2 Solution: Notice that, numerator has 2 exponents with same base a^3 and a^2 Multiply the exponent first and then divide by the denominator So, a^3.a^2 / a^-1 = a^3+2 (-1) = a^6 15/3 = 5 b^4 / b^2 = b^4-2 = b^2 15a^3b^4a^2 / 3a^-1b^2 = 5 a^6 b^2.

Five Colleges with Enhanced ADHD Services

Five Colleges with Enhanced ADHD Services Heading off to college represents an exciting time for students with ADHD. Most are excited for the opportunity to break away from the structure of high school and the routines of family life, and forge their own path. Its also an anxiety-provoking time, since the success of students with ADHD up to this point has often been dependent on the structure that their school and family have provided. All students with ADHD need some level of additional support during college to reach their full potential. Some need fairly minimal support, like access to a psychiatrist on campus who can prescribe ADHD medication, a handful of academic accommodations, or a reduced course-load. Others need more substantial support, like access to ADHD-specific counseling or coaching programs, individualized instruction, or executive functioning classes. College campuses vary greatly in the services offered and the costs associated with these services. Working together with your teen to figure out which colleg e is the right fit for their unique needs is a complex and lengthy process. To get you started, heres a list of five colleges that offer enhanced support services for students with ADHD. University of Arizona The University of Arizona offers a highly acclaimed program just for students with ADHD and other learning differences through its Strategic Alternative Learning Techniques (SALT) Center. The SALT Center offers individual weekly meetings with a Strategic Learning Specialist who assists with educational planning, goal-setting, time management, organization, and learning strategies. Also provided are access to assistive technology, psychological counseling, tutoring, and the option to receive additional life coaching or ADHD-specific coaching. The SALT Center charges semester-based fees ranging from $1,200 $2,800. Landmark College Landmark College (Vermont) is a unique college exclusively for students with ADHD or learning disorders and offers one of the most comprehensive specialized learning programs available. At Landmark College, support services are integrated into the curriculum, and all students have access to them. These supports include small class sizes (with a student to faculty ratio of 6:1), individualized instruction designed to make classes engaging for students with ADHD, executive function coaching, tutoring, and social supports that facilitate the process of establishing a new friend group and living on a college campus. University of Maryland College Park The University of Maryland College Park, like most colleges, offers typical academic accommodations for students with ADHD. Through the Psychology Department on campus, students can also access the SUCCEEDS program, which is designed specifically for students with ADHD. Through the SUCCEEDS program, students receive a comprehensive assessment that identifies their areas of strengths and weaknesses, participate in weekly group meetings led by graduate students in the psychology department, and are assigned a personal coach to help them with time management, social challenges, and organizational challenges. There is a separate fee for the SUCCEEDS program ranging from $1,500 $2,000 per semester. Appalachian State University Appalachian State University (North Carolina) offers a unique program for students with executive functioning challenges (including students with ADHD) through their As-U-R program. Like many of the programs on this list, they offer specialized tutoring and mentoring, specific training to address executive functioning challenges (like time management and organization), transition and adjustment assistance for incoming students, and access to assistive technology. Where this university program really raises the bar is with their commitment to accountability all students participating in the As-U-R program are required to spend study hours in the Study Center each week, where they have a quiet study space and direct access to assistance from support staff. What could be better for blocking out distractions and helping students with ADHD follow-through on meeting their academic goals? Students must apply to be admitted into the As-U-R program; however, the re are no additional fees for AS-U-R services. Curry College For students looking for a smaller college campus experience, Curry College (Massachusetts) can be an excellent option. Curry College offers the Program for Advancement of Learning (PAL), which provides credit-bearing courses to teach students with ADHD the learning strategies they need to succeed in college lecture courses. Throughout the school year, students meet with a PAL faculty member 2-3 times per week in a combination of individual and group settings to develop a better understanding of their learning styles and develop key executive functioning skills. PALs fees range from $1,800 - $3,500 per semester. This list represents just a few of the many colleges that offer enhanced services for students with ADHD.

For teens with ADHD college acceptance represents a major milestone, and one that they worked very hard to achieve. Once the admissions offer has been accepted and the celebration has died down, its time to start thinking about how your teens needs will be met once college life begins. College students with ADHD need more support than their peers without ADHD in many areas. The start of college is an exciting time for incoming students, and most are eager to break away from the structure of their high school existence and start something new. Its a time when independence is celebrated, and teens finally have a chance to really stand on their own two feet. For incoming students with ADHD, this exciting time can also be anxiety provoking, and with good reason. Teens with ADHD are more dependent than most on the structure provided by their high school and their families and breaking away from that structure while keeping ADHD symptoms in check can be a real challenge. Difficulties with organization, time management, prioritizing academic assignments and attending classes, regulating sleep schedules, etc. all become exacerbated when school structure and parental oversight are pulled away. In addition, symptoms of ADHD make attending and learning from longer lectures and dense reading assignments without individual support more challenging. Academic accommodations in college are one tool that may help students with ADHD manage some of the ADHD-related impairments that come up during classes for students with ADHD. Its important for students and their parents to understand in advance what types of accommodations are available to students with ADHD, how to qualify for these accommodations, and who to meet with to ensure that these accommodations are put into place. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions as they relate to college academic accommodations and ADHD. ABOUT DR.

Volunteering at Paddington Academy - Robs story

Volunteering at Paddington Academy - Rob's story Robert H has recently completed his volunteer placement  at Paddington academy .    Robert supported  the students and staff of the English department, delivering 12 hours of free in-class support throughout  January and February 2016. Below are a few words from  Robert about his experience volunteering for Tutorfair. Having recently completed a voluntary placement at Paddington Academy, I’d just like to say how much  I’ve enjoyed the experience. All the staff have been very supportive and a great pleasure to work with, and in turn have really appreciated the extra hand in the classroom. It’s also been very rewarding  working with students with a variety of personalities and educational needs and this has made for a  great opportunity to extend my range of experience. While volunteering, I worked with two teachers, supporting each class  on alternate weeks.    I benefitted from this arrangement as  I got to teach 3  different modules and texts and was able to observe two different teaching styles. This kind of  assignment really highlights the  value of volunteering in education: as a Tutorfair volunteer  you  get some great hands-on experience whilst actively supporting pupils  in the attainment of their  educational goals.

How to Set Up Professional Voicemail Inboxes

How to Set Up Professional Voicemail Inboxes image via Blitz Just like the importance of conducting yourself professionally in person and over email, you want to make sure that if an employer is trying to contact you, that they receive a professional greeting, even if you aren’t able to answer the phone right away. Here are some tips for creating that perfectly professional greeting. Short, sweet, and simple: When someone is trying to reach you and they can’t get you on the line, they want to leave a message right away and get on with their day. If your voicemail greeting goes on for minutes on end, chances are they aren’t going to stick around until they hear the beep. You don’t need to have your whole life story in your voicemail greeting, you just basically need them to know that they reached the right person and that you will be getting back to them as soon as you can. This is the part where people like to get funny, maybe by saying, “hey, Im out and definitely avoiding you,” which is funny if your friends are calling, but not if someone you want to work for is trying to reach you. You don’t need to say why you cant answer or where you might be, you simply need to say your full name, that you are sorry you can’t come to the phone, and that you will get back to them as soon as you can. Practice: Before you officially pick a greeting, why not practice on making your voice even and understandable? I know that my voice rises when I speak on the phone, and I tend to speak faster, so I practice in the mirror to slow down my voice and make sure that I am speaking as naturally as I can. It may sound silly, but the tone in which you say something can either play the professional status up, or it can bring it down. You can’t change what your voice naturally sounds like, but you can work on controlling it to make sure you sound calm and collected when recording your message. If you aren’t sure, have a friend listen to it and give you pointers. It’s always disorienting listening to your own voice, so you might not be able to catch if you sound weird because you’re hearing your voice or because you are actually speaking in a strange manner, but someone who knows you well will be able to clear it right up. Be inviting: Your message should sound inviting and happy, so the person leaving the message doesn’t get scared off. Don’t be unnaturally over the top happy that they are leaving you a message, but definitely try and get a happy tone into your message, and show them that you value their time and the fact that they are leaving you a message. A good way to do this is to maybe add, “Have a wonderful day” at the end of the greeting. It’s short, so it won’t contradict the first point, and it makes the message more personal. Another form of contact: This is optional, but you can also leave another form of contact on your voicemail, like an email, that the employer who is calling can utilize. This will show that you want to get back to them as quickly as possible, and you are giving them multiple ways to do so. This isn’t necessary, but can be a good step if you want to squeeze a little more into the voicemail without going overboard. Okay, so what does it look like when you put all the steps together?: Example: “Hello, you have reached Megan N. Turner. I’m sorry that I can’t get to the phone at the moment. If you would please leave your name, best way to reach you, and your message after the tone, I will get back to you as soon as possible. Feel free to also shoot me an email at mturner@gmail.com. I look forward to speaking with you. Thank you and have a wonderful day!” Let’s look at another one: “Hello, you have reached Mark Hannel, content writer at Uloop News. My apologies for missing your call. I will be happy to get back to you as soon as I am able. Please leave me your name, number, and a brief message, and you’ll be hearing back from me shortly. Thanks and have a great day!” These of course are very basic templates. Feel free to make your voicemail fit you just keep it professional. Good luck!

What I learn by tutoring others.

What I learn by tutoring others. Teaching others gives one perspective. You get to see others misunderstandings and students under various levels of motivation. It was surprising to me at first how similar students in “gifted” classes are to students who are labeled learning disadvantaged. I find that students who are termed, “learning disadvantaged,” are often just as capable as their “gifted” peers. So what are the differences?Often I find that students who are called, learning disadvantaged, may have achieved this status based off a combination of one or more of the following factors: A student may have not learned an essential concept necessary for them to progress with the rest of the class. Unfortunately teachers have to address the needs of all the students in their classrooms and may not have time to spend one on one with each student that is struggling.One of the worst case scenarios is a student who is bright enough to come up with the correct answer enough times to escape teacher attention, yet does not actually learn the material leading to a problem that cannot be solved without intervention. This often happens when students engage in some form of what is known as “academic bulimia,” merely memorizing what is essential to pass the lesson, then forgetting or worse mixing up concepts learned with other concepts.This incomplete learning merged with later confusion can easily create a problem requiring intervention.Unfortunately this intervention is sometimes an inappropriate labeling of as, “learning disadvantaged.”My solution to this is to get the student caught up, and drill the student in a way such as to make sure that the student has understood the concepts. Students that have become good at guessing answers must be subjected to a battery of related problems to make sure that they have internalized the concepts, vs. just going through the motions. A student may not understand a teacher’s teaching style, or submission requirements. This incompatibility can lead to frustration on the part of both the student and teacher. I try to make sure that the students in these cases can work efficiently on their own and understand how to present their knowledge in a way that the teacher would like.A student may be a poor test taker and may have gained the label of learning disadvantaged even though the student may have good mastery of the concepts. This is rare, but possible.I find it heartbreaking when a student self identifies as learning disabled when the student demonstrates an ability that can understand and excel in the subje cts they are taught. Students, I feel, should be taught to expect more of themselves… not less. Another thing that I’ve learned from students is perseverance. Being older and more mature than my students means that I am able to stick with tasks for longer periods of time. Often I see students that are just on the verge of figuring out the information. Usually all they need to do is either go back to the basics and complete the parts of the problem that they were too scared to figure out due to the “hard parts of the problem,” or sometimes they just needed to think of the problem in a different manner. For instance it can seem overwhelming when students try to add percentages and fractions, but once you can get a student to understand that percentages are really just fractions, then it can smooth out a lot of the anxiety and feelings of bewilderment.For myself as I study to become a medical doctor sometimes I am faced with hard problems that make me feel lost. So I just apply the same idea to my own problems as I apply with my students, and invariably I find that even the most difficult problems are surmountable.Keep Studying!

5 Most Effective Techniques for Learning Without Memorizing

5 Most Effective Techniques for Learning Without Memorizing Learning is a perplexed and consequential process. If you are involved in many various activities, your brain generates peculiar details of given information. We therefore can state that your capacity is sophisticated with accumulation of knowledge. When you are trying to remember the text, the cerebrum can not keep up the huge amount of information. Moreover, memorizing activity is an intense mental activity. Sometimes a person can even deal with the problem of forgetting the plain text forms. In this case we can facilitate mental work by connecting similar ideas and associations. You can easily make logical chains from things you already know. The psychologists and neuroscientists assert that this the passive form of perception. The passive learning can be both entertaining and intellectually productive. The main advantage is that you can combine natural aspect of thing (how it sounds and how it looks like) and your own representation. Here are the most effective techniques that you can use for learning material without memorizing: 1) Visualization process. Usually it uses the power of your imagination. The absolutely new concept can be reached by creating visual forms. For example, you can connect abstract ideas and forms into one mental picture. This means that one episode from your experience may appear in completely new image. For students who do not use visual system for memorizing, this strategy can be achieved by auditory or somatosensory perception. For example, sound, taste or smell image creates a particular concept. 2) Simplifying technique. This method for learning without memorizing is considered to be one of the most effective. It is based on the explaining the particular concept using the simplified lexicon. You can imagine the situation when you are supposed to describe or explain the idea to children or pupils. It usually helps to underline the concrete facts rather than abstract information. 3) Metaphorical images. Metaphors are great instruments for memorizing process. The key point is that you can combine the already known text forms with completely new images. It can help you to accept and analyze the new information more quickly. For example, if we are talking about global political issues we can correlate it with the experience from your own social activity. 4) Graphic images.  Creating of different kinds of diagrams, schemes and tables is a productive way for establishing connections between the various things. Moreover, this type of memorizing technique develops your own vision on the text material because you make logical operations during the information systematization. For example, when you are studying American history outline, you can create a table based on time line, political/social life etc. Such graphic image will show the differences and similarities between the periods. 5) Group learning. This method works as a kind of brainstorming. It appears when several people share their opinions or explanations regarding a specific topic. The members of a group therefore can make connections between the same facts and remember the subject itself. We have listed the best techniques for easy and productive perception of text information. You can choose the most appropriate way of learning without memorizing for you and start working with it. You should understand that you need try at least a couple of them. We hope that they will be useful in your studying and work. If you have some difficulties with learning and memorizing the information in various subjects, do not hesitate to visit TutorZ  to find the most qualified tutors. Our tutors make strong emphasis on memory training exercises.
