What do you like about this subject?

I like that the solutions are right or not and easy to get to in most cases.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

Well, I know expansions to (a+b)^2, (a+b)^3, (a+b)^4, (a+b)^5, and (a+b)^6, but I hope to know more. I desire to know even more on pi than only 60 places, root two two ten places, and even more.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Did you know that parabolas have zero, one, or two solutions? Of course, you most likely will know this after taking it awhile.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Some say 1/0 is meaningless, but others say its just infinity. E

1. Evaluate (3x + 6) ÷ [y3(x + 2)] if x = 2 and y = 1. Note the expression is 3(x+2)/(y³(x+2)); y is 1, so y³ is 1; to evaluate, put in 2 for x. 2. Simplify the following expression: (16x+24)/8 + [2(y-3)-1]/[(27y-18x)/9]

To solve these, I will call the distances u and v. In the x direction, I will call the distance ux and vx. In the y direction, I will call the distance uy and vy. The angles for u and v will be called

2012-02-04 Inverse Functions:

y=2x+p, x=m(4y-3) The slope times the slope of the inverse is equal to 1. This means that 2 * 4m = 1, so m = 1/8. Now the equations are x = 2x + p and x = y/2 - 3/8. To be inverses, any value must

2012-02-01 simultaneous equation:

The equation 7(4b + 1) - 5b + 6 = 0 is correct. If we multiply the 7 by 4b we get 28b. If we multiply the 7 by 1 we get 7. This makes the equation into 28b + 7 - 5b + 6 = 0. If we combine the b

2012-01-22 extra credit:

It can be seen that the 1st fall is 10m, since that is the distance to the ground. It can be seen that since the ball goes half as tall, it goes up to 5m on the 2nd bounce. Once up there, it drops
