I see that now.
But what I mean,is that after a search through the Internet through frustration netted me the knowledge that you may break up polynomials into two binomials consisting of similar terms if you cannot group them into a monomial and trinomial...
Funny thing is though,I literally...
Hmm,It had not crossed my mind to isolate r^2...
But besides that,it turns out my book had failed to mention that I might also be able to solve polynomials with 4 terms,by grouping them into two binomials consisting of similar terms...
Blast it all... More work to be done yet... but you've got...
Hmm,well I wish my book would've told me that...
My book never said seperating the 4 terms into a group of 2 binomials was an option...
It's only ever said seperating them into a monomial and trinomial was my only option.
Guess I need to look into this more...
Yes,thank you both,it seems I was hasty in my assumption.
Why I asked,is it seemed like a problem I had with a previous problem,namely:
r^2-s^2-25+10s
Which I could simply not solve if I grouped like terms...
The answer is (r+s-5)(r-s+5)
I could simply not even start the process for this...
Hey Guys,
So I'm currently factoring polynomials.
As you all know,when trying to factor a polynomial with 4 terms,the answer can be the difference of a trinomial and monomial squares.
So I had the problem 4a^2-4ab+b^2-c^2
I thought(book doesn't explain it well) that your first step was to...
Hello,
First off, I apologize if this is in the wrong section. I didn't think this would constitute as a homework problem,as I'm not really asking to solve a problem,but more, I'm asking you all to help me comprehend and mentally vizualize this.
So I had a story problem that went along the...
No, the equation was correct,as I assumed,but my mind was so fried from studying I forgot to multiply .65 by 6 when distributing...:headbang:
Ah well,thanks again
Holy smokey.
Man I need to learn how to take breaks in between studying...
I re-did my equation and came up with the correct answer...
Thanks anyway,haha.

Hey guys, could use some insight here...
So this is a basic story problem:
"I paid $22.30 for 6 new golf balls and 10 used balls. If each new ball costs $.65 more than a used ball,how much did I pay...
I feel like this is the correct answer...
In a perfect space,where air is the only means of heat transfer,the shorter bottle,with less surface area,would be the winner.
But in a real life scenario, with real life variables,the longer bottle MIGHT stay cooler long enough to finish the...
Fair point. I appreciate the food-for-thought.
Regardless of which rout I go,it's definitely another option,and more options never hurt.
Cheers.

Yes,that's after all expenses paid. I might even be selling myself a bit short there.
So,in theory,wouldn't I be in the same position at the same time(that is,a debt-free mechanical engineer with his future ahead of him)? Only with my rout,I now have 3+ years of workplace experience at a...
Well, I currently live at home still. I have a position lined up (still praying hard as its not set in stone,but my chances are fairly strong) that will net me $30,000+ a year.
The college I'm looking at has a 2 year program in Engineering that,upon completion,Is set up to transfer to a larger...
Thanks man.
I recently read through some of the classes the program teach and it coincides with your statement.
Just got to work on Calculus...maybe I should make a phone call :/
Hahs, thanks again.
