I have to do a report thing on math terms and explain for each one how we use them in our everyday lives. I need help. The sooner the answers come in...the better. \n\nThanx!~!

One use is in economics and optimisation.   If you're running a farm which produces two different crops or a factory that manufactures two different products, there is usually an optimum amount of each product which maximises your profit.  Linear equations in two variables allow you to calculate the optimum.

Multiplication and division are basically just a matter of memorization.  I know if you're just learning it, its hard.  I remember having trouble as well when I first started.  But keep at it.  It will get frustrating at times, but keep at it.  The problem with math is that as you go farther, you need to remember everything you've already learned.  But otherwise, it can be real easy.  Just keep at it and you'll do fine.

Start by just telling the basics then play a game like in this site \n\nhttp://distance-ed.math.tamu.edu/peic/lesson_plans/fun_with_factoring.pdf

Maybe you are in a class that is too tough.( if your in high school that is)\nTry getting some extra help from teacher or another student.\nStay current on your math, dont get behind. If you dont understand something new in class make sure you get it explained.It is harder when you have to play "catch-up"\nMost teachers/ schools would be glad to help you learn if  you show interest.\nAlways do your math homework first,get it done and out of the way before you get too tired.\nAlso review and learn your basic multiplications and division if you dont know them ( thats what it sounded like in your question)\nDont give up.Not everyone is good at math sometimes its just learning the "rule" or "trick" and following it step by step.\nGood luck

ok, i think one will be where you have to solve a word problem dealing with alegebra. One with number sentences that have a letter on one side of the problem and letters on both sides of the problem. i could be wrong, but i'm trying to help.

I was in your shoes once. My brain just doesn't work math the way I was taught it. Are you using the same teacher/tutor or do your teacher and tutor use the same style of teaching? Perhaps trying a new tutor, or getting someone else to work with you will help. I have noticed that not everyone's mind works in the same way. I struggled with math/algebra for years only to later in life have someone else explain it to me and it clicked right away. If someone can present it to you in a way your brain understands, perhaps it will make sense and you will start to do better.\n\nGood luck.

This site has a good explanationa and some examples to help explain ratios.  At the end of the lesson, there is even a practice test you can take.\n\nhttp://www.math.com/school/subject1/lessons/S1U2L1GL.html\n\nBy the way, try to be a little more specific next time.  Add as many details as you can.  It's hard for people to help when they don't know exactly what you need an answer or advice on.  Good Luck with the math!!

Algebra is needed for SO many things! Recipes, budgeting you name it. It teaches problem solving. Geometry is good to shape your mind to think logically. I actually took geometry twice out of my own free will because I loved proving the angles were equal or whatever. My mind was never so sharp. Trig, well I actually haven't found a use for that yet....

The Edifier has it right, but darned if I can follow the notation. You really need to see this written out like a textbook to understand what's going on.\n\nClick the link below in "sources" to see the answer hosted at my website www.calculus-help.com. Right now, Yahoo! answers, as far as I can tell, doesn't allow graphics, which makes it tricky to answer ANY math questions.\n\nPlease don't post math answers, guys, if the poster knows the answer but can't get there, and you get something completely different.

As for math, I'd recommend mathworld.  I don't know about other specifically.  It is not the most readable, but it's a good enough resource for graduate students.

Pay attention in class little girl and you will understand more of your math problems... Still wish ya the best, GOD bless!

Not really, you should really talk to your math teachers about it. It leaves no room to get a real answer for in class questions and showing the step by step process for problems.
