I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the input and help. I think the reason I did 3x^2 was to find a monomial that would produce the product 6x^4 when multiplied by 2x^2 (the first term in the divisor).

Jeez, re-reading my post even left me confused. It's too bad I can't replicate it on the forums as I have it written on my paper.

Homework Statement (6x^4-3x^2+x-4) / (2x^2+1) Homework Equations Relevant equations? The Attempt at a Solution Here is my attempt, but I want to make sure that I didn't break any laws by changing the number to be divided by switching the last two terms around by using the commutative law...

I don't know if it's mentioned here, I only had time to skim the posts, but do what my wife did back in high school -- junior college. Our high school didn't offer calculus either, only pre-calculus. Some high schools will allow you to take calculus at the local junior college for high school...

I'll give it a shot, thanks. I went to Barnes & Noble and bought some workbooks that might keep me occupied during my free time.

Hey all, I don't know if this is the correct forum, but can anyone give me advice on remembering material? My professor has a lot to cover in a short amount of time, and so we move through materials rather quickly. Now, this has no bearing on my tests, quizzes, or homework (I'm doing rather...

I've got to show this quote to my wife and father-in-law... they'll get a huge kick out of it!

You'll want a vast range of different opinions on different topics of philosophy. Nothing beats a philosophy textbook, and there is much to be said about the quality of a book that has survived to go into its ninth edition. I recommend this one...

Whether you have what it takes is up to you, and sometimes you don't find out until you can look back in retrospect. But your university, like any other, should have the resources available to you so that you can do well and succeed. It's really up to you to find out what is offered and take...

I'm also fascinated with this topic. I feel like I was a late bloomer. Though I was considered relatively intelligent in high school, I felt like I was a fake and that I didn't have a true grasp of things until I was much older. Even now, I'll read things I wrote about psychology and cognitive...

Yes, that's how I meant it. But I also agree with Gokul43201 in that it might be a typo or poor printing because it seems that all the other exercises in the section have a certain likeness to it... this one seemed off. Thanks for the help.

Homework Statement LCD of 5/2x and 7/5x3yHomework Equations Lowest common denominator is also lowest common multiple: (2)(x) (5)(x)(3)(y) = (10)(x)(3)(y) I figured, the lowest common multiple of 2x and 5x3y is 10x3y. For some reason, my book shows the answer as 10x^2(y)! The Attempt at a...

I suppose you're right. I imagined that the assumed mass of the person falling, coupled with gravitational acceleration at the given height, and the density of water might have made for good speculation. I was watching a special on the Golden Gate Bridge the other day and it was mentioned by...

I have no idea if this is the correct part of the forum to be posting this in... SPOILER WARNING FOR BOURNE ULTIMATUM! My wife and I just saw "Bourne Ultimatum." At the end of the movie, Jason Bourne, played by Matt Damon, plunges into a body of water from a height of 10...

That is true. Thanks for clarifying that.
