So let's get started....]]> 2020-03-27 20:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/479143272 I’m confused https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/493204432 I am confused on page 58 question 7, the equation is 3x^2 + 11x + 6 = 0 and you can’t simplify it. The 11 is a prime number, and you can’t get rid of the 3 on the first term. How would you factor this?]]> 2020-04-05 12:51:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/493204432 tbosi https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/493299301 This is factor by grouping. Multiply the first term and the third term and make a T chart for that. So make a T chart for 18 and with same signs find factors that add to 11. Break that apart and then continue factor by groupng. Does that help you? ]]> 2020-04-05 14:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/493299301 I am confused on question 7 on page 72 i cant figure out how to simplify it https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/494899585 2020-04-06 14:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/494899585 Cross Multiply. You are then just solving for v the normal way you would solve. Isolate the variable on one side. tbosi https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/494967131 2020-04-06 14:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/494967131 I'm confused https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/497123213 I am confused with number 4 on page 2 of the handout for homework. When I tried to solve the problem -x(x-6)=5 I got -x^2+6x-5 but no multiples of -5 add to a +6.]]> 2020-04-07 16:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/497123213 First you need to factor out a GCF of -1. We never will factor with a -x^2 tbosi https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/497755259 2020-04-07 23:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/497755259 I am confused on number 3 for Thursdays homework, what one do we disregard because they both get a negative width https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/500680169 2020-04-09 14:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/500680169 tbosi https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/500684408 You should only get one negative number. Your set up should be x and x-11. Then you set that = 80. Subtract the 80 from both sides and factor. You have different signs. Does that help you?]]> 2020-04-09 14:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/500684408 Thursday’s homework q-2. https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/501984966 I may have oversimplified... I’m not sure how to get started with the ratio]]> 2020-04-10 13:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/501984966 Q-2 https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/501995316 Your clue helped.  I was going off homework and not handout]]> 2020-04-10 13:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/501995316 I don't understand question 4 on Thursdays homework. I don't know what to do when there is a triangle. What is considered the shorter side? https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/504766378 2020-04-13 15:47:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/504766378 I asked you to skip #4 I do not want you trying this. The legs are the shorter sides when using the pythagorean theorem. tbosi https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/504769142 2020-04-13 15:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tbosi/6dvh1uaby4n8/wish/504769142
