help!

I am in "factoring trinomials whose leading coefficient is 1" hell.  I spent an hour trying to do my homework and got none correct.  Grrr.  Demoralizing.  So I'm going to try to watch more youtube tutoring lessons and see if I can understand it.  I understood it last night.  Now- it's gone.

Enough whining.  Did I post this yet?  If I did, too bad, I'm posting it again. I think it's safe to say here, but on Supernatural, I love the angels.  They are more interesting than Dean and Sam.  Yes, I love the boys too, but it was Cas and the gang that really got me into Show.

{{{Hugs}}} and coffee. I remember doing those problems! Wish there was a good way to talk you through them.

It took me 4 hours, but I got a template down in a language that I can understand. Let's see how far behind I am now

I'm so tired right now that I had to go look that up to see what you were talking about because that sounded vaguely familiar. Do you think this might help: http://www.trottermath.net/algebra/trinoms1.html I liked how they started with multiplying binomials and the way they displayed that math before they got into factoring them.

Between that link, you tube videos, texting a friend and my book, I got a template down that I can understand. Now just to work with it so I can memorize how to do it. And class tonight, so more stuff to cram into my brain. Gah. Thanks for the link

I should have done this right out of high school. Doing it in my late 30s sucks. LOL

you'll get there sweetie. keep trying and don't give up :)
if you get a question wrong, double check your sums and make sure you haven't made any silly mistakes and then just wipe the slate clean and start again
