Well, you've obviously gotten help already. but I wanted to share a tip I got from college - GO TO OFFICE HOURS. It took me a couple years to figure out that office hours was really a secret extra section where you got real help on what the heck the professor was talking about.

Woodmort, thank you so much. I really wish I just "got" Algebra it seems like it would be really fun since I do like numbers. Looking back at a few things..... we are working with the binomials, polynomials, trinomials. It's the simple stuff that I know I know, he just confuses for...

What language IS that??!!
I personally would like to the person that invented Algebra. I did the know the name but I have been out of class for a few hours and already forgot

Thank you very much, I am sure that I will be needing more help along the way My 16 yr old tries to show me, but he talks faster than my teacher does, lol. He is also ADHD. Beginning to wish I was ADHD, they seem to have a knack for math. He also loves Chemistry and Science.
Yeah...

I did not mean to offend you or anybody. When I grew up and had to learn this stuff there was no internet to look it up. There was a book and a calculator which in this case was rather worthless. We had time in the class room to ask questions and after that we were on our own to solve...

I just saw this. If you need more help, give me a heads up. My youngest son took Algebra in the 4th grade. (until the middle of the first grade he could barely read/write, ADD and they wouldn't test him for this or offer support until then) Math/science is easy for him. He's now in...

On problem number 2: -p^2+5p+14=
You have to removed the negative first so it would start with -1( then you have p^2 which breaks it down to -1(p ) (p ) Then you have to figure out what 2 multiply to give you 14 but subtract to give you a positive 5. ANSWER: -1(p + 7)(p - 2)

My daughters are in 4th now and one of them was showing me her algebra I struggled in Algebra during high school and then took Elementary Algebra at College and did really well, but now College Algebra is throwing me for a loop.

I finally remembered how to work the second problem after about 30 minutes of beating my head
The first problem shows the answer to be this: (3q + 2) (3q^2 +5)
Yeah, it's the same thing as what I had, but you went an extra step.
I can't believe I actually remembered how to do...

enjoyin' my chickens :
alright I need to know if it is 9q^3 or 9(q^3)
Sorry about the incorrect keys I'm so stressed out, I can't even think of the simplest things.
This is the equation: written properly I think ( It's a grouping equation)
9q^3 + 6q^2 +15q + 10
My 4.0 is quickly diminishing and I am about ready to scream!
My Professor talks so fast I can not keep up with him. I had no problem with beginners Algebra but this class is kicking my behind. I really need some help from you Algebra Experts.
This is the problem: Can anyone please tell...
