    same thing with Chemistry. i got an F on the final exam, B+ on the final grade. the reason? i owe it all to CuteWolf, and how he helped will be a secret between me and him....

    3 B (assuming dimes = 10)

    11 C (though im not sure..)

    13 D (guessing this one really...put some thought into it though...)

    18 C (its just a case of counting really)

    20 Couldn't Y be anything ?

    I am in AP Calculus BC and skipped algebra 2 so i hope that i can help you.


    From about 5 minutes of work i can tell you

    2 is b
    9 is -7/10
    10 is -2
    11 is c
    13 is d
    15 is b


    A lot of the questions are unanswerable because of missing images.

    If you need more help just pm i will guide you through it.

    Oh and try www.physicsforum.org i find that it can help a whole lot and their "mods" literally do nothing but help people solve problems.

    If it helps.....I'm in Penn's Math 114 class which is Calculus II. Thats a bit of a misnomer really since its basically a little of differential equations and then multivariable/vector calculus. Weird thing is I already know the 240/241 stuff.....which is differential equations + linear algebra.....

    Anyways, math is something that you just have to practice. Preferably if you can understand the concept quickly, you won't have to do much or any at all but I suppose that isn't the case for you and algebra 2 right now. I'd recommend you to just basically do all the problems in your textbook without looking at the answers beforehand.....most schools usually offer tutors too so it wouldn't hurt to contact them.

    A is in standard form (as per my post, y = mx + c), gives the correct gradient and y intercept, no?

    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)

    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.

    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.

    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...

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