Article: Poor quality guitars are often hard to keep tuned and don't produce good sound. This can make them challenging to a beginner because the songs they play won't sound right. To avoid this, don't buy the cheapest guitar you can find. Instead, look for the highest quality guitar that fits within your budget. While guitars can get really pricey, you can buy a decent guitar for around $100. Typically, new guitars priced less than $75 aren't worth purchasing because they'll produce poor sound. Your child doesn't need the fanciest guitar you can find when they're first starting out. However, a quality guitar will be easier to tune and will produce a good sound, which can motivate your child to stick with it. Look for guitars manufactured by notable brands. These include recognizable names like Gibson, Guild, Seagull, Yamaha, Ovation, Fender, and Taylor. Research popular brands before you go so you know what you're looking for. Talk to the music store staff if you're purchasing a guitar in person. Used instruments are more affordable while still being of high quality. Visit a local dealer for guitars that have been checked and tested by professional musicians, or check your local classifieds. Before you purchase a used guitar, test it out to make sure it plays well and doesn't have signs of damage. If you don't know a lot about guitars, ask your child's music teacher or a knowledgeable friend to help you examine the guitar. Kids are often drawn to decorated guitars, but paint and rhinestones can dull the sound of an acoustic or classical guitar. It's best to purchase a solid wood guitar. Pick a guitar that looks nice but isn't covered in paint or veneer. An electric guitar is different. If you're child is ready for an electric guitar, it's okay to get one that's decorated. Your guitar purchase likely won't be complete without accessories. Make sure you get everything your child needs in order to use their guitar. The type of accessories you need will depend on the type of guitar you're purchasing. Here are some accessories you may need: An extra set of strings. Guitar picks. A guitar tuner. A guitar case or bag. A guitar strap. An amp and a cable for an electric guitar.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Buy the best guitar you can afford. Factor in the quality of the brand. Look for a used guitar for a budget-friendly option. Avoid buying shiny or decorated guitars if sound is important. Purchase the right accessories for the guitar you chose.
Article: x12{\displaystyle x^{
rac {1}{2}}} is actually the exact same thing as x{\displaystyle {\sqrt {x}}}. This is done similarly no matter what the bottom of the fraction is, so x14{\displaystyle x^{
rac {1}{4}}} would be the 4th root of x, also written as x4{\displaystyle {\sqrt[{4}]{x}}} . Roots are the inverse of exponents. For example, if you took the answer to x4{\displaystyle {\sqrt[{4}]{x}}} raised it to the fourth power, you would be back at x{\displaystyle x}, such as 164=2{\displaystyle {\sqrt[{4}]{16}}=2} can be checked as 24=16{\displaystyle 2^{4}=16}. Also for example, if x4=2{\displaystyle {\sqrt[{4}]{x}}=2} then 24=x{\displaystyle 2^{4}=x} therefore x=2{\displaystyle x=2} . x53{\displaystyle x^{
rac {5}{3}}} might look impossible, but it is easy if you remember how exponents are multiplied. Simply turn the base into a root, like a normal fraction, then raise the whole thing to the power on the top of the fraction. If you're struggling to remember this, think through the theory. After all, 53{\displaystyle {
rac {5}{3}}} really just equals (13)5{\displaystyle ({
rac {1}{3}})*5} For example: x53{\displaystyle x^{
rac {5}{3}}} x53=x5x13{\displaystyle x^{
rac {5}{3}}=x^{5}*x^{
rac {1}{3}}} x13=x3{\displaystyle x^{
rac {1}{3}}={\sqrt[{3}]{x}}} x53=x5x13{\displaystyle x^{
rac {5}{3}}=x^{5}*x^{
rac {1}{3}}} = (x3)5{\displaystyle ({\sqrt[{3}]{x}})^{5}} It is much easier to try and add and subtract your exponents before solving them or turning them into roots. If the base is the same and the exponent identical, you can add and subtract like normal. If the base is the same, you can multiply and divide the exponents like normal as well, as long as your remember how to add and subtract fractions. For example: x53+x53=2(x53){\displaystyle x^{
rac {5}{3}}+x^{
rac {5}{3}}=2(x^{
rac {5}{3}})} x53x23=x73{\displaystyle x^{
rac {5}{3}}*x^{
rac {2}{3}}=x^{
rac {7}{3}}}
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Treat fractional exponents, like x12{\displaystyle x^{
rac {1}{2}}} like a square root problem. Turn the top number into a normal exponent for mixed fractions. Add, subtract, and multiply fractional exponents just like normal.
Article: To clean the outside of your kettle, use basic dish detergent. Wash the outside with the dish soap and then wipe it down with a damp cloth. Try not to get any dish soap inside the kettle. Clean the outside every week or so. Because of the heating element, you cannot place your electric kettle in water. If you have a stainless steel electric kettle, you may want to polish it to keep it shiny. To make it shiny, use olive oil. Place some oil on a soft cloth and rub over the outside of the kettle. Rub gently to make sure you don't scratch the outside surface. The interior of your kettle can get build up with frequent use, especially if you live in an area with hard water. This can lead to flakes in your tea or coffee, and cause the kettle to work slower. To keep your kettle working properly, clean it every few months.
