Well you guys beat me to it. I'm glad that more of you posted questions today.

Sally: For 2 ACE 12A you need to write an equation for profit in terms of the number of posters sold. What this means is you need to end up with a final equation where P = ...something n. To do this, you need to solve for x in the second equation and substitute that back into the first equation.

Anna: For 2 ACE 29 you need to use FOIL. If you have a graphing calculator, then input the equation and see where the min. and max. points are, etc. If you don't, then we'll go over it tomorrow. I'm sure others will have the same question.

Rockersquirrel: If you are writing an expanded expression such as x^2 - 5x + 6 in factored form what would help is if you look at each term seperately. Think about what two numbers give you a product of +6 and a sum of -5. It would be -2, -3. From that my factored form would be (x-2)(x-3). Another example: x^2 +9x - 36. Once again, what two numbers give you a product of -36 and a sum of 9? It would be +12, -3. Factored form would be (x+12)(x-3).

Ohhhhhhhhhh... Now i get it!!!

sry...i kinda put sum stuff on the other periods wun...oops

RockerSquirrel said...

r u there? if u r, let mi know...

can u get that thing where u hav 2 type in those letters to make sure that ur not a cumpewter off please...its reeeeeeeeeeeeeelly anoying!!!

RockerSquirrel said...

brb

gotta get mee sum cappucceeno!!!

RockerSquirrel said...

k...im back

RockerSquirrel said...

the word verification is getting reely irritating!!!!!!!!!

RockerSquirrel said...

4 12. a., would p=(20-x)(x-6) work???

Ms. Gusman said...

okay rockersquirrel. I am having difficulty translating your text. You know how you have those time zone problems, well the time on this website could be one of those.


Anna....as long as your are able to multiply/distribute/use foil on 2 ACE 29 and do it correctly (so make the rectangle boxes to check) then it's fine. I'll go over the graphing part in class to help answer a,b,c,d. If I forget, remind me.

RockerSquirrel said...

helloooooooooooooooooooooo?

any budy home?

RockerSquirrel said...

sry...

RockerSquirrel said...

ooopz...
i mean, "sorry"

RockerSquirrel said...

wut about the word verification thing?
can u change that?
er delete it or sumthing

Ms. Gusman said...

rockersquirrel,
this is not a chat room. Post questions and comments. Sounds like you are refueling with cappucino to get some caffeine.

Please read my post to Sally above. Your final equation needs to be P=...something n. There should be no x's in the equation.

i dont under stand 29 it is hard

RockerSquirrel said...

ya...i guess that im sorta trying to stay awake with my coffee/cappaccino.

ohhhhhhh. i gess i didnt understand the equation.

RockerSquirrel said...

ms. gusman: i cant see sally's one...):

mark: hi

Ms. Gusman said...

Welcome Mark,
Please read the comments posted to Anna regarding 2 ACE 29. Main thing is that you can rewrite the factored form into expanded form. We will do the actual a-d in class tomorrow using the graphing calculators.

RockerSquirrel said...

nvr mind...i see it!




...but i cant think uv anything....

Ms. Gusman said...

rockersquirrel.

Go all the way to the top. It's in the first post. Too much cappucino?

Ms. Gusman said...

Rockersquirrel,
You don't need to "think of anything" use the two equations that they give you.

RockerSquirrel said...

who iz sally?

RockerSquirrel said...

...yah.


...i dont get it...

RockerSquirrel said...

...

RockerSquirrel said...

do i hav 2 do that double step thingy?

Ms. Gusman said...

rockersquirrel

the goal is to get P =.....something n

In equation 2, n=20-x. Solve for x like you would a 1 or 2 step equation.

In equation 1, P= xn-6n. Substitute the result you got above for x into this equation. So it should look like P = (whatever you got for x)n-6n. Multiply out/distribute, combine like terms and you should end up with P = ......something n

RockerSquirrel said...

yah....i need help..

H E L P !

RockerSquirrel said...

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

RockerSquirrel said...

could it be 20-6n?

Ms. Gusman said...

Okay,
I'm taking a 15 minute break.

RockerSquirrel said...

...yay!!!!!!! i fiqured it out...but im not gonna tell....
there could be others lisening...

(:

RockerSquirrel said...

RockerSquirrel said...

the rest iz all easy!!!

RockerSquirrel said...

what do you do if its x5/x8?

would u get x.3?

RockerSquirrel said...

ms. gusman?

Ms. Gusman said...

rockersquirrel,
Please limit yourself to posting a question about the assignments. We will not be using a webcam, sorry. This site is math related only. If you haven't counted yet, I did, you have alot of posts tonight. I'm glad your having fun, but how many are math related?

Ms. Gusman said...

Nathan,
Look for comments to Anna and Mark regarding 2 ACE 29.

RockerSquirrel said...

what do they mean by a factor of 1.12 for 36.b?

RockerSquirrel said...

sry....

PS i think nathan left...

Ms. Gusman said...

rockersquirrel

x^5/x^8 is the same as
x(x)(x)(x)(x) divided by
x(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)

five x's in the numerator cancel out five x's in the denominator. You are left with three x's in the denominator. Your numerator is 1. (so 1/x^3)

RockerSquirrel said...

what do they mean by a factor of 1.12 for 36.b?

RockerSquirrel said...

thnks

RockerSquirrel said...

do they mean 112%?

RockerSquirrel said...

...

Ms. Gusman said...

rockersquirrel,
I thought you said the rest was easy????

If you have an increase in salary such as a 15% raise that is the same as your current salary (100%) + 15% or 1.15. So if the salary increase by 1.12 that the same as a 12% salary increase. If her salary increases by 110% what would that look like as a decimal or what the are referring to as a factor?

RockerSquirrel said...

when they say, her sallary grows by 1.12, is it growing from the previous answer, or the $30,000?

Ms. Gusman said...

If you have anymore questions, look for me before school.

RockerSquirrel said...

oohh..

RockerSquirrel said...

k bye

good night...

Ms. Gusman said...

rockersquirrel,
Last comment for tonight. They are always applying the increase to her original salary of $30,000.
