I AM DONE! :2thumbsup:
NO MORE TRIG, NO MORE PARAMETRIC EQUATIONS, NO MORE CONIC SECTIONS! :smash:
i took my final today, i think i did ok, not great.
BUT THATS BESIDES THE POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :birthday2:
:thrasher:
YAY! Good for you! Are you in college or plan to go? If so what do you plan to study/major in that will keep you from further mathematical study?

This means you don't need to depend on the tin cup & guitar, right? Good! ~:pat:

More honorable....maybe. Doesn't put as much food on the table though. Now a lawyer moonlighting with a tin cup & guitar would cover all the bases.

crud. i failed the final.
it seems like i have a keen ability to overestimate how i do on math tests.

Pre calculus, the bane of most if not all high school students

Well, Jimmy Buffet didn't need no stinkin' precalc. Not when he had his Tin Cup Chalice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OERELB20fVU&feature=related). Get'em another day.

Yeah. Gotta eat somehow.
He can fatten up on rhetoric. He will learn that sooner or later. A lawyer and all...

If you plan to go for anything more than a two-year degree, it is likely you'll still need some form of college level math. Hopefully your grades are high enough to jump any CPE requirements you might run into, but it's never fun when you get down the road and see Trig starring you in the face. Good times. :shame:

I'm taking my precalc final on Wednesday. Trig is easy except for identities and when solving sometimes. Graphing, reference angles, law of sines and cosines is all a breeze. Conics is not hard at all either, you just need to know the formulas. I swear the easiest section out of that whole book, was the last chapter, the introduction of calculus with a chapter on limits. I was like, umm this is calc? A+ please!

Did you still pull any kind of decent grade out of the course? Or is this one of those "fail the final, fail the course" classes?
Condolences... its never fun failing. Found that out this last semester when I had to drop my first course ever. Music. Yeah, Music... don't worry, it can happen to the best. Most of us aren't good at something in life. Main thing is to pick yourself up and keep going. You're almost assured of running into at least one, likely two, math courses at a university. Depending on your high school, however, I'd say those entry level, required courses aren't much more difficult than high school. Of course, I did stats courses, not trig, so take it with grain of salt.

luckily its not a "fail the final, fail the course" class. but i do end up with a C+ for the year, which looks bad both for NHS and on my resume for college.
