2008-09-22 slope intercept: slope = (-6 - 2) / (4 - 3) = -8/1 = -8 y = mx + b is the slope intercept form where m is the slope and b is the y intercept We know m = -8 , so y = -8x + b We need to find b Since (3,2)...

2008-09-21 Graphs: The graph looks like a parabola , so suppose the equation is y = rx^2 + sx + t We must figure out what r,s,t must be in terms of a,b,c,d,e to be sure that the given points (0,a) (b,c) (d,e) are...

2008-08-21 Algebra: Factor out the highest power of x x^7 - x^5 = x^5 ( x^2 - 1) For the second problem, start by factoring out the highest power of (2-x) 6x(2-x)^4 - 9x^2(2-x)^3 = (2-x)^3 ((6x)(2-x) - 9x^2)...

2008-05-21 algebra: take the square root of the terms one at a time then multiply together 108 = 9 x 4 x 3 , so the square root is 3 x 2 x (3)^1/2 = 6 x (3)^1/2 the square root of x^4 is x^2 the square root of y^6...
