Five step method for attaining goals.. I have always been facsinated by this.. how to achieve my goals.. how to overcome my laziness and complacency.. how to take out the best of myself.. Although i never myself really tried to achieve that!! I was a little satisfied with what i was doing, not knowing that i had immense potential and capability to achieve anything i wished (all of us have!). As they say, 'complacency kills'. It was killing me! I believe many people can relate to this (though i wish not ). So here's something for all of us, these magic formulae for attaining your goal

Suppose I make the assertion: "x is a function of y." What does thisstatement mean, what are its implications? 1. The variable y is to be considered the independent variable.2. The variable x is to be considered the dependent variable.3. The acceptable values of the variable y vary over a set of numbersthat is referred to as the domain of the function.4. The values of the function are symbolically represented by theletter x. The values of the function come from the range of thefunction.5. There is some rule of association { a rule that associates witheach value of y in the domain of the function, a correspondingvalue of x in t

Early historyThe first units of length were based on the human body, the most obvious example being the foot. Other body-based units are the cubit, which is the length of the arm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger (roughly 18 to 22 inches), and the span, which is the distance between the tip of the thumb and little finger when the fingers are extended. The hand is still used to measure the height of a horse. Needless to say, these units can vary widely from person to person, and an example of allowing for this variance can be seen in the 12th century Scottish definition for the inch, which was taken to be the thumb width from three men - one big, one med

Case 4To draw the graph of form y = | f(x) | (graph 4) Draw the graph of y = f(x) (in yellow) then restore that part of the curve, which is above x-axis. Take the reflection of the part of the curve which is below x-axis (in yellow) wrt to x-axis. Then erase the part which is below x-axis... The restored part along with the reflection will be the required curve (in red dotted) Case 5To draw the graph of form y = f(|x|) (graph 5) Draw the graph of y = f(x) (in yellow) and then erase the part which is to the left of y-axis. Take the reflection to the part of the curve lying to the right of y-axis assuming y-axis as mirror. The part of the curve, which i

One way to extract silver from silver sulphide is to first prepare a complex salt of silver sulphide and then react it with zinc to get 2 mole silver(as per the 12th textbooks on silver extraction).it is a long two step process. now here is a short one step process by reacting silver sulphide with zinc an still we get 2 mole of silver. So why cannot we use the second process? answer completely..

Cool Fraction ProblemA friend of mine sent this to me today, see what you think of it:The decimal representation of 10/81 is cool:0.123456790 123456790 123456790 123456790 and so on forever.But the missing 8 is a bit of a flaw. The easiest way to remedy this is to subtract1/10^9,(10/81) - 1/1000000000 = 9999999919/ 81000000000 =0.123456789 123456790 123456790 123456790 and so on forever.But this too is less than perfectly cool since the first 9 is not followed by a 0or a 10. Show that one can turn 10/81 into a very cool number by subtracting(m/n)/10^9 from it so that the result looks like0.1 2 3 4 5 6

If you're in the market for new tires, all of the variables in tire specifications and the confusing jargon you might hear from tire salesmen or "experts" might make your purchase rather stressful. Or maybe you just want to fully understand the tires you already have, the concepts at work, the significance of all of those sidewall markings. What does all this stuff mean in regular terms? In this article, we will explore how tires are built and see what's in a tire. We'll find out what all the numbers and markings on the sidewall of a tire mean, and we'll decipher some of that tire jargon. By the end of this article, you'll understand how a tire supports your car,

IITChalo StrategyAny good IIT-JEE like problem , when analyzed contains basically of three parts1. Catchwords 2. Guessing simple Concept 3. Links One good problem is linked with many simple concepts .This mix gives us is, an tricky looking question.Your first effort should be, to read(mark the catchwords) and somehow break the question so that you can identify(better word would be 'guess') the simple concepts involved .For identifying simple concepts, one must resort to drawing small diagrams of the problems and then a careful thought procedure should follow.Once you have identified the simpler concepts involved in it, then goto stage numbe

IITChalo StrategyWhy good strategy? It helps you to transfrom your hard work into proper results It increases your efficiency. It keeps you out of trouble,"just before the exams". It helps you in making correct decisions. If you know these points then it will improve your performance If there is no negative marking then you should first try to do as many problems as you can ,use wise guesses ,wherever possible .For blind guesses fix a particular option e.g.you can choose (b) as your choice ,but then mark (b) for all of your blind guesses (those good in probability might have understood the reason for that).
