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.

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.

you know, that math sounds so familiar, but i haven't done any of that sort of thing in 3 years so i've kind of wiped it from my brain. sorry i can't help bb :/

the editing in that vid is simply fantastic!
