That homework help thread.

[Hannah]

Pretty self-explanatory, eh? Oodles of smart people who are all smart in different areas means one thing; a kick ass homework help forum. So, have at it.

[Ovie! Ovie! Ovie! Oy! Oy! Oy!]

Yeah it's just for warm up, I don't think we'll be graded. If we are being graded probably on getting it done since we're separated into lanes based on our skill levels.

[Hannah]

So, lemme get this straight, it's 4(-2t) - 5s? Or 4(-2t)(-5s)?

[Ovie! Ovie! Ovie! Oy! Oy! Oy!]

The only tip I can give, in a rush, is to do it one step at a time, multiply them one by one, like 1x2, then (product of 1x2)x3.

[Contradiction]

If it's written like this: 4(-2t)(-5s), the answer is 40ts.

Step-by-step:

(4) x (-2t) = (-8t)

(-8t) x (-5s) = (40ts)

If it's written like this: 4(-2t) - 5s, the answer is -8t - 5s.

If a = b and b=c, then c = a. It's been a long time since I've learned this, so does anyone know if it's Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, or a lesser math? *cannot for the life of her remember what level this is*

[Hannah]

It was in my Algebra 2 book, but toward the beginning (in the review section), so I'm guessing Algebra 1.

It was also in my geometry book, but my geometry book was more than a geometry book. It was the most epic piece of literature I have ever read. Ok, so not literature, but you know.

[Fate]

That's what I was thinking, but I still wasn't sure...

I don't think it's Geometry, but I listed it anyway. Lucky... My schools don't use the books. Some of these books are older than the students...

[Hannah]

Well I'm homeschooled and my mom never passed Algebra 2, so they're all I have.

It's really a lovely way to learn. :D

I learned it in Algebra 1 vOv Transitive property.

[Fate]

Thank you. I was pretty sure it was Algebra 1, but that was so long ago... *horrid memory*

My sister needs help with math hw. She's studying functions. For the life of me I do not remember which can't repeat. So, is it the X that can't, or the Y that can't?

[Hannah]

Repeat? I have a pretty good grasp on functions, I believe, is there an example I can see? Like, what do you mean by repeat?
