    Lol, Algebra 2. I remember when it was still just Math A and Math B.

    y = mx + c is the standard format for the thingy. M is the gradient and C is y-intercept.
    NAY! It's y = mx + b, and b is the slope, and it's called slope-intercept form! Standard form is Ax + By + c = 0.

    I have no idea what this slope intercept form is.

    Maybe im thinking of one for a straight line. Most likely.

    Maybe instead of just giving you answers you could tell us the ones you had trouble on, and whoever is able to solve it can give you a basic explanation of how...?

    Probably learn more that way... (or the tutoring idea is probably better but more effort as well)

    well, I'm fairly sure you guys could help me pretty well. so If I have any trouble with a question I'll post it; but PM me instead, because I end up having to search for relevant posts.

    What type of stats? Regression? I got an HD in stats last semester. (I wish I was doing as well in my Law class )

    Well, I can try to help you. I am an all-A student and I had A's in all my semesters and semester exams related to Maths, but I but I barely got an "A" in Algebra II. Currently, I am taking College Algebra, and the class will start in precisely one hour from this post time (I am typing this in the Uni library). So I suppose I can help, even though I consider myself an imbecile in maths, despite my perfect grade record (not to mention some dubious things I occasionally did to get A's - asking students which problems were on the test and such ). Really, I have gotten A's in Geometry and Algebra II mainly because of my spectacular luck with teachers, times, students, and etc.

    In any case, use this site. I use it to check all my work. Mathway is a godsend for any struggling Maths students. Get the paid membership if you can - it will aid you in the understanding of how to solve problems, step-by-step, as opposed to the free just-answer-the-problem function.

    And like I said, feel free to PM me any questions - I will see if I can help out. I deeply emphasize with you, as I struggled to get A's in mathematics myself. Although I did have my mother to help me out, who was maths professor and then an accountant, so that may explain my relative success... Life is not fair in other words, and I wish I can help you.

    Trust me, I have used the site for two years. I never, ever had problems with the stuff it said it could do.

    In fact, just two days ago, I did a take home quiz for College Algebra class, and checked all the work entirely on MathWay (finding two mistakes of mine) and got a 100, or aced in other words. While half at the same time the class failed it, because it was so difficult (although it is very easy to solve it once you already have the answer).

    Look, PI (hehe - pi - 3.14) just email me the problems at ss78@gmail.students.uwf.edu or simply PM me, and I will try and see if MathWay works for that problem.

    Also, consider buying a TI-83 Plus calculator - I did half my work in my past Algebra II class on that brilliant calculator. The only trick is, you really have to know how to use it, and our Algebra II teacher did just that. She would teach us the lesson normally, and then, when we were done with the topic, and took a test on it, she showed us how to sue the calculator to solve the problems, for future benefit. But I was always ahead and I learned how to use the calculator myself, which was permitted, to take all the tests .

    oops me make mistake, 2 is a


    No dude use this site, www.physicsforum.org

    Join the site and go to precalculus math help. People there will guide you through the problem. And it is free, plus you can slowly advance. i still use it for my college level physics and my calculus. It is the same layout as the .org as well which is comforting to me

    Ugh. Stuff like conditioned probabilities (That's the easiest part), margin intervals, etc. I fail completely at math. Although I was awesome at Economics. But then again, my economics exam didn't involve much math.
    BLARGH!

    Business stats stuff? Yeh. I can help with that if you need.

    Out of interest, where do you live? I have never heard of Algebra II before but in Australia it's divided into 3 groups, Further, Methods and Specialist ( I am doing methods if that helps any of you)

    But seriously, try using Youtube, it helped me on Quadriatic formulas a while ago...

    Why not?

    Youtube (to be honest, it was youtube of a tv show, Chopper Read teaching about OH&S) helped me to pass Economics.

    What, you do not believe me? US schools, even the somewhat elite one I go to, are easy enough to make all A's if one simply lifts their rump. And it is not like Australia or UK have better schools. UK actually exhibits lower test scores than US on the same exams. Now, Asian or certain European school systems, especially in Eastern Europe are tough, but that is entirely different. And if I did not make all A's, how would I be enrolled in a Uni when I just turned 16??

    I'm fairly sure I don't want to base my Algebra II grade off of something on youtube.
