Remember that (5,6) is a point in the xy-plane.  Graphically, the picture we have in our head is drawing a circle and seeing whether or not the circle goes through that point.  But if you're anything like me, you can't draw circles worth anything, so another way is to remember that the equation of the circle is just another way to describe all of those points.  That sounds kind of redundant, but keep it in mind.  What it means is that if I take ANY point on the circle, the x and y values of that point will fit into the equation of the circle and make it true.  (This is true not just for circles, but for any equations, be they for lines, parabolas, etcetera.)\n\nSo, the point (5,6) gives us our x and y values.  Plug them into the left-hand side of the equation, and we get \n\n(5-2)^2 + (6-6)^2 = 9, which doesn't equal 4, so the point is NOT on the circle.  Actually, this question would have been fairly easy to see from drawing a picture, too, but that's harder to do here!\n\nHope this helps.

Well, how can we guide you better than this guide does?  So, you have to revise your paper, and how can we help you without having your paper to examine, to see where you went astray?  Did your teacher mark your paper in this and that spot, pointing out where you slipped up?  Are there any comments that were made in writing on the paper or verbally?\n\nI don't see how you can get any significant help with this from what you have posted...we don't even know what the subject of the paper is.

Here you go! I hope this helps you out. I copied what some other guy said, he was mean about it.  :)\n\nArt B = 2x3 = 6 points\nHist A = 3 x4 = 12 points\nSci C = 4x2 = 8 points\nMath B = 3x3 = 9 points\nLab A = 1 x 4 = 4 points\n\nTotal points = 39\nTotal credits 13\n39/13=3.0\nGPA = 3.0

i wouldnt be worrying so much about grades, but the content.  if they are missing a lot of key concepts and ideas that are appropriate for that age level, something needs to be done.  im an educator in texas and we have spelling activities every week, cursive is taught in third, and science is all year.  but there is so much more to school than those few things.  from what you have said, it makes me wonder what else is falling through the cracks?  i would contact the school board, the district superintendants, and whoever else you need to get this resolved.  check up on required curriculum for the state and see if this school/class is meeting those.

I think you need to spend a few minutes trying to understand the phase diagrams in the chapter.  Each line on the diagram represents a transition from one state to another.  The axes of the diagrams are temperature and pressure.  I'm sure you'll need to learn to interpret these diagrams for an exam, so you might as well start now...

It is all difficult b/c it seems so abstract at times. It is really difficult for students to grasp concepts that are so foreign! the best advice, try to relate the subject to something that they understand and already know...it will make it easier to learn!

this sounds confusing???

I would jsut try researching each individual question.  Also, read your textbooks.  I know it sounds CRAZY to read the materials you are given but it actually prodvides you with the answers! :) good luck!

No one can make sense of these notes. Ask the person you "borrowed" them from for help. They all look like test answers.

Why?   If this is for homework or a project, try looking it up on the internet, rather than asking other people to do it!\n\nGood luck!\n\nI sent you a message - hope you got it.   I suggested you ask your teacher to explain things again - they would rather pupils ask rather than struggle.   Also, I expect you are not the only one with problems - but you are probably the only one brave enough to admit it!\n\nGood luck.

Did it ever occur to the individuals that have answered in a derogatory manner that this person might be in the 3rd grade? Or that maybe they live in a country who's public education is less than the country your in?\nWhy does this have to be an "American issue"? it is a math question and one that someone needs help with.\n\nYou should be thankful that your teachers didn't take the same attitude your displaying with you when you learned it.\n\nLastly - even if this person is college graduate.. People forget things. Math comes as natural as walking to some to others it is a struggle to comprehend so cut them some slack. \n\nBottom line - If this question was so appalling or bothered you so much...you should have simply passed it by.\nInstead you chose to show your butts.\n\nThe answer the person is looking for is above. Yes if they are looking to increasee the size "to" 160% than multiplying by 1.6 works. If they are looking to increas the size "by" 160% than they need to multiply by 2.6.\n\nA heartfelt thank you to everyone that simply answered the question and tried to help.

Sorry but learning is better than having someone do it for you! That is why your teacher is giving you the assignment. Good Luck

My suggestion would be to read spark-notes through a few times; and then find key sections in the book-and read those. I think sparknotes is a great tool; and it has helped me get through quite a few unbearable books in the past years. I think it'll definately be worth it to do the report-since it's effecting three different classes; which could really help out your grades.\n\nAnd just out of curiosity...what book is it that is assigned?

To a third grader the task seems insurmountable so you need to make it seem less intimidating.  With all my classes I always did this activity at "times tables" time.\n\nI wrote all the times tables lists on the chalk boardor white board, from 0x0 to 9x9 in lists of the 0 times, 1 times, and so on.  Then I would say to the kids something like, "Ok, here are all the times tables you have to learn" and they would all groan.  Then I'd say, "Let's look at this and see how easy it really is".  So first we'd see how many they already knew, and usually we could establish that everyone already knew all the 0 times, 1 times, and often 2 times and 5 times, and we would clean all of those off the board in each place they occurred (two places) so we would begin to have gaps. \n\nThen we'd talk about the finger math method of figuring out all the 9 times and erase all of those because they could quickly come up with those.  (The method is described in the first link.) \n\nThen we'd look at the ones that were left and talk about the fact that every single one was there twice, as 8x7 is the same as 7x8, etc., and we'd erase one of each pair.  Then we'd be left with the ones they actually had to concentrate on learning.  By then the task didn't seem nearly as insurmountable.\n\nI've included a couple of other links that should be helpful.  Good luck with it.

this class may differ depending on what college you attend. i would suggest that you contact the professor and ask for a syllabus. this would be the best way to find out what the class teaches and what would likely be on the final exam.

COLLEG ALGEBRA!  Yep it had to be a math class.  I was never good at math in high school so, I new I would not be good at it in college.  Did I pass or drop it.  I did neither on at first.  I failed it.  I took the class over in hopes that I could raise my grade atleast by 1 letter but, that didn't seem to happen.  I ended up dropping it the second go around.
