Math HELP thread!!!

[Nocturnal]

Ok guys, I don't know if you read my previous thread but like I said I can't or don't ask questions in class and I don't understand my basic algebra homework.

I'm now on chapter four which is graphing.

I am currently on exercise set 4.2

Problem number 21.

Instructions for problem number 21 says to "Graph each equation."

x = -3

WTF?

Anyone with AIM can you help me via AIM?

 

[Nocturnal]

I'm guessing here, just graph on the x axes - 3?

 

[LordJezo]

Uhh..

All that is is a vertical line, 3 left from the origin (0,0) at negative 3.

Straight up and down.

 

[Nocturnal]

Ok, x = 3/2

How would I graph something like that. You don't need to tell me the answer, but just explain if possible.

YEAH THIS IS EASY SO WHAT I'M STUPID WHO CARES JUST HELP THANKS!

Uhh... you would have a simple vertical line going throuh -3 on the X axis.

Your face says it all.

x = 3/2... when it's x = something all it is is a vertical line at that point.

3/2 = 1.5 = one and a half = half way between 1 and 2.

y = something is a horizontal line at whatever it is talking about.

Like I said sorry the teacher never really taught the class well. Sorry I sound so stupid. I am.

You would graph that as 1.5 with a vertical line.

look at it this way. that equations says this: plot all points on the graph that satisfy x = 3/2. all points of the verticle lien at x = 3/2 satisfy the condition, so that's what u plot.

Ok I'm going to invite you all to my private forum there we can elaborate more and I don't need to look so stupid.

I was trying to figure out how to fit "whip it out" into a reply...but I cant think of a way

tha's for suscribiers only

 

[VBboy]

LOL... I'm sorry, I can't help it

Download any graphing program or use a graphing calculator to plug this in, and see for yourself
Alternatively, read the book instead of spending your valuable time here

What a prick, you're one of those guys I'm gonna armbar in the future for saying that kinda crap to me.

 

[Brutuskend]

It's a JOKE DUDE..


Hell I SUCK at math, and don't even pretend to know how to do that problem.


Just thought I'd brake up the brain strain with a touch of laughter!

(BTW: Don't feel picked on. This is my standard post to ALL math thread.. )
