I thought it was going to be hard trying to multiply a fraction in order to get a zero pair but it was actually easy. If the 1/4 were to be multiplied by 3, it would be 3/4 which is not 1/2 so try a different # to multiply with. Maybe 4? No, that would equal 1. Maybe 5? No. Maybe 2? Yes! Because if you multiply the top # by 2, it would be 2/4 y = 1/2 y !
A question that really stumped me up was “Determine the value of k”
Question: U(2,5) V(k,3) with a slope of 2/7
Slope being rise over run.
Rise, you have to find the difference between y1 (5) and y2 (3) which is simple, 2. Run, you don’t know what k is so you just leave it with 2-k. This is where things got tough for me, I didn’t know what the next step was but then I remembered… You always was the variable to be the top, the numerator. How to do that? One reciprocates; but what you do to one side, you must do to the other (step 3). Now, It’s just basic algebra; you want to get k all by itself. What you are doing in dividing by 2 so to get rid of 2, you must multiply both sides by 2. What’s left is 7=2-k. Take 2, bring it to the other side which becomes negative. Step 5, you don’t want to end up with a negative variable so divide each side by -1 which gives you the missing #, -5.
She’s straight savageeeee….
Scout says what’s ever on her mind! It could be because she’s what, 7 years old
? That’s besides the point. She blurs out questions like “Is your dad dead” and when Atticus asked her, “How’d you like for your Aunt to come live with us?” (p.128, Harper Lee), she said she “would like it very much”, which she said was a lie, “but one must lie under certain circumstances.” She lied to her own father that she respects very much! I would have done the same. I wouldn’t want my father thinking I hate my aunt! (even though I hate her very much actually).
Uncle jack makes the assumption that she likes using the words “damn” and “hell” and she replies with “I reckon so”! Like who does that? Who says that to their own uncle? Oh that’s right, Scout! Scout is one of those people that would tell you, “you have a booger in your nose” or “no… that dress is disgusting, put it back” without even thinking if it would hurt your feelings or not because she is that savageeee…..
You do NOT want to mess with her!
No one embarrasses Scout without gett
ing something in return. Whether it’s your nose getting punched or rubbed in the dirt, she will do it with no hesitation. Jem gets grabbed by and older man? Just kick him a little bit higher than his chin. Atticus is about to get jumped with no weapons on hand? No problem, just make sure you run up to him and say “hey” without thinking twice about what you are doing and most importantly how much danger you are putting yourself into. If no one embarrasses her than no one embarrasses you, period. She would always have your back no matter what and those are the friends you want to keep.
That’s Scout for you ladies and gentlemen.
A young girl growing up in a racist town yet
has her own opinion on discrimination.
I means, she does have one heck of a dad
raising her…
The way a parent should.
2 questions that I really did not get were these two^^. But once I found out what they were asking, I started to slowly understand it. First and foremost: What does discrete and continuous mean?
The answer is:
Discrete data is counted.
Continuous data is measured.
When looking at the independent variable (x), the discrete variable could be kids in a class because there can’t be half of a student and everyone is unique. Another example is a dice; there are only be 6 possible answers. Continuous data can take any value (within a range) for example time in a race, or the height of my cat. There is an infinite amount of time because there could be 1.5secs, 1.4seconds, 1.345secs etc…

Multiplying 3 binomials is easier than it looks, you just need patience. If they are all getting multiplied (expanded), it doesn’t matter which ones you are multiplying first. In the example below, I chose to multiply the easier ones first: (x+1)(x+2)=(x^2+3x+2). Next comes multiplying the binomial and the trinomial to get rid of the brackets. To do that, you have to do the distributive property (and here is where the patience comes in). Do that you still have a huge mess! You have to clean it up by putting together like terms.
How patterns make multiplying and factoring polynomials easier?
Whenever there’s a negative and a positive multiplying for example (x-2)(x+3), the algebra tiles will look like half is colored and half is not.
Lastly, whenever there’s 2 negatives multiplying for example (x-2)(x-3), the algebra tiles will look like half colored, half not, half colored and half not. 
When factoring polynomials, you have to make sure the second term is half of the first term for example, x^2+5x+6 (the variable in the middle needs to have half of the number of x’s as the leading term). An example that would not factor would be (x^3+5x+6) because x^3 is 3 times x, not 2. How you get x^2 is by multiplying (x)(x), how you get 6x is adding the constants together and x, and finally how you get 8 is by multiplying the constants (so that means the #s have to multiply to one # and add to the other). Notice it’s using the same variable. 
Doesn’t matter which order they are in. 2+3+5 gives the same answer as 3+2+5…
Other quick tips… to factor an equation with only 2 terms, it would have to have conjugates and a negative. Example (x-4)(x+4) = x^2-16 (two terms). And double patterns are a thing!—— x^2+4xy+3y^2=(x+y)(x+3y)
Question: Determine a simplified expression of the shaded area in terms of a and b?
If (5a+b) is the whole length of one side, that means length of the shaded rectangle would be (5a+b-a-a). That equation simplified is (3a+b). Same thing for the height. If it’s (3a-b), that means that the height of the shaded rectangle is (3a-b-a-a) which simplifies to (a-b). Multiply (3a+b) with (a-b) and it gives you the area of the shaded rectangle which is 3a^2-2a-b^2.
