Not sure what your question is, but a major chord with a raised fifth is called an augmented chord.

What is a minor chord on the keyboard and how do you play one?
A minor chord is major third on top of a minor third. to make a minor chord take a major chord and move the middle note down a half step
What is it called when there is a major chord after a minor part in a song?
It depends on context. If the piece continues in minor after the major chord, it was probably a half cadence on a major V chord. If the very last chord of a minor piece is major, that's called a Picardy 3rd.
How do you form a half of diminished chord in piano theory?
I'm assuming you mean a half-diminished seventh, since half-diminished triads don't exist. Start with a diminished triad (stacked minor thirds, like C-Eb-Gb or F-Ab-Cb) and add a minor seventh (for the C chord, Bb; for the F chord, Eb).
How is an Augmented triad formed?
An augmented triad is made of two major thirds, and is the only triad not found in a diatonic scale. For example, the chord could be made of C natural, E natural, and G sharp.
What is neapolitan music?
This phrase most often refers to the Neapolitan 6th chord (also written as N6), although the term is derived from its main use in the Neapolitan School. This is a major triad in first inversion (or 6-3), whose root is a flatted supertonic. What this means is that the second note in the scale is lowered by a half step, and a major chord is built off of it. Then the chord is inverted, so that the root of the chord is now the highest pitch. For example, in C major, the Neapolitan is based on the second degree/note (D) lowered a half step (Db), with the major chord built off of it. In this case, the major chord is that of a Db chord (Db, F, Ab). When inverted, the Db is now the highest pitch, so the chord is now spelled F - Ab - Db. That's the Neapolitan 6th Chord. The reason it is called a "6th" chord is because the interval between the F and the Db is a minor sixth. One other main way to see the chord is as a N67, which is a Neapolitan 6th with a seventh. In the case of the Db major chord above, the full spelling would be Db, F, Ab, Cb, and then inverted would be F, Ab, Cb, Db.

How do you convert minor into major?
Move the second note of the chord a half-step up.

What does major mean in music terms?
Major will mean : A CHORD that spans FOUR half steps, Plus Three half steps. IE: from C, 4 1/2 steps to E, then 3 1/2 steps to G = C MAJOR CHORD you have to be more specific there are major 2nds and major scales major 2nds are using solfa and they are between specific ones like mi so ask a music teacher for more advice using these. Major scales are the scales where the notes go do to do (i.e. C major scale C D E F G A B C or do re mi fa so la to do
If most music has at least three parts to the chord what are the most prominent notes?
That could be subjective depending on the style of music but generally, the root is most important because it signifies what chord it is and the third is second most important because it will show that it is either major or minor. It you have a M3 (4 half steps) interval between the root and third, you have a major chord. If you have a m3 (3 half steps) between the root and third, you have a minor chord. This is if you have a third tone to go with those two notes. If I were to play a 7th chord and needed to drop one note, I would drop the 5th.
What is a third?
That's a vague sounding question, but I've encountered the term in music theory, referring to the third step of an 8 step scale (do, re, mi). The 3rd is known as a color tone along with the 6th, 7th, and 9th, because it helps to determine the quality of a chord (more than two notes played in unison).A triad is a 3 note chord consisting of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th degrees of a scale played in unison. It can be major, minor, or diminished depending on the relative distance between scale degrees.Every scale in western music contains 12 half steps. This constitutes an octave, or the repetition of the root note one octave up. The 3rd can determine whether a chord is major, minor, or diminished by its location between the root note and the 5th. If a 3rd is three half steps from the root and four half steps from the 5th, a minor chord is made. If it is four half steps from the root and three half steps from the 5th, a major chord is made. If the 3rd is three half steps from the root and three half steps from the 5th, a diminished chord is made.It is possible to create major and minor intervals with only two notes. Three half steps between notes indicates a minor interval, and four half steps indicates a major interval. A diminished chord requires at least three notes, as it cannot be diminished without a flat 5th.I hope this quick breakdown of triad music theory sheds some light.
What notes are produced by lowering the third fifth or seventh steps of major scales?
In a major scale, these 3rd, 5th, and 7th steps are equal to a major third, a perfect fifth, and a major seventh, respectively. If you were to lower these (by half a step, or one semitone), you would get a minor third, a diminished fifth, and a minor seventh, respectively.
How do you transpose from major to minor keys in music?
You cannot transpose from a major key to a minor key. You can change the key of a piece, but transposition must be either major or minor. Actually you can transpose from major to minor but it won't always sound right. First write down the chord functions for each chord in the major key (eg. I ii iii IV V VI viio). Then write down the interval of each melody note (eg. C over a G chord is a perfect fifth). Then for the minor key write out the chords using the chord functions as your guide. So if C was in major key, acting as I chord, in the key of Am you would have an Am chord. In minor keys we use a mixture of natural minor, harmonic and melodic minor which affects which chords you will use in your minor key. For example, in the key of Am the V chord might be E major (not E minor) using the G# from the melodic minor scale (or harmonic minor scale). It has a stronger resolution. For the melody use minor intervals instead of major intervals - so use minor 3rd instead of major 3rd, minor 6ths and 7ths. So if you had an E melody over C chord in major key you would have C melody note over Am chord. This doesn't always work but can get you started.
How do you find the radius given the chord length?
If you are given a chord length of a circle, unless you are given more information about the chord, you can not determine what the radius of the circle will be. This is because the chord length in a circle can vary from a length of (essentially) 0, up to a length of double the radius (the diameter). The best you can say about the radius if given the chord length, is that the length of the radius is at least as long has half half the chord length.
