    • The prime form of the row is the main form to which all other forms are referenced.
    • Any row form that is the same as, or a strict transposition of, that opening prime form is also a prime form.
    • A retrograde form of the row takes a prime form and exactly reverses the pitch classes.
    • Inversion forms are labeled according to the first pitch class of the row form.
    • Retrograde inversion forms reverse the pitch classes of inversion forms and are named for the last pitch class in the row form.

  • Graphing Quadratic Equations in Vertex Form

    • Quadratic equations may take various forms.
    • You have already seen the standard form:
    • Another common form is called vertex form, because when a quadratic is written in this form, it is very easy to tell where its vertex is located.
    • The vertex form is given by:
    • It is more difficult to convert from standard form to vertex form.

  • Linear Equations in Standard Form

    • Another way of arranging a linear equation is in standard form.
    • In the standard form, a linear equation is written as:
    • For example, consider an equation in slope-intercept form: $y = -12x +5$.
    • However, the zero of the equation is not immediately obvious when the linear equation is in this form.
    • Convert linear equations to standard form and explain why it is useful to do so

  • Form is the Basic Structure

    • This is called the form of the music.
    • Other forms are easy to understand because they are so familiar; if you see dogs more often than you do sea cucumbers, it should be easier for you to recognize the form of an unfamiliar dog than of an unfamiliar sea cucumber.
    • Musical forms offer a great range of complexity.
    • It is also easier to recognize familiar musical forms.
    • You can enjoy music without recognizing its form, of course.

  • Blastocyst Formation

    • The blastocyst, forming early in embryonic development, has two layers that form the embryo and placenta.
    • In humans, the blastocyst is formed approximatelyy five days after fertilization.
    • The blastocyst possesses an inner cell mass (ICM), or embryoblast, which subsequently forms the embryo, and an outer layer of cells, or trophoblast, which later forms the placenta.
    • The trophoblast combines with the maternal endometrium to form the placenta in eutherian mammals.
    • The floor of this cavity is formed by the embryonic disk, which is composed of a layer of prismatic cells, the embryonic ectoderm.

  • Development of the Integumentary System

    • Fetal skin forms from three layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and neural crest cells.
    • At four weeks gestation, simple ectoderm epithelium forms.
    • Between four and 12 weeks, the basal cellls divide repeatedly forming the stratified epithelium.
    • During this same period, the mesoderm forms the blood vessels and connective tissues.
    • Other cords begin to form mammary glands.
