<b>I need a brain refresher</b> to see if i have everything straight in quintic and quadratic expressions. The n's in an expression represents how many turns a line would have The amount of (x+1)^2 means a quadratic curve The if the n is odd there are no complex roots Now here is the...

My work is in the url...

I'm trying to put this into factored form help me out and help me with ellipses I don't know what to do... Would i have to place the C that i solved into a^2 = 10^2 + 25.4^2 http://s65.photobucket.com/albums/h237/runicrice/?action=view&current=scan.jpg

I don't see the math in it though... x^2 = 4py x/4^2 = py making x/4^2 = p is it something like that?

I forgot the steps on how to do this.

I am dazed and confused how does 2x^2=y end up being directrix y=-1/8?

Okay can anyone tell me why is this true for restriction of 0 < x < 360 sin(x)=0.15, x = 8.6 and 171.4 cos(x)=-.655 x = 130 and 230 tan(x)=0.75, x = 36.9 and 216.9 I don't see a pattern or rule... please co-ordinate me through the use of graphs if you can my teacher didn't explain it well.

First off its supposed to be solved using trigonometry and i figured out the question to today. Please note Key words like "guessing".

this is my question: A Building sways 55cm to the right from origin in 5 seconds and 55 cm to the left of the origin in 35 seconds. And i am supposed to write an eqaution to define this. I'm guessing the is no amplitude no vertical translation and since it's sine basically I am going to...

My davey jones's locker i think I've got It! Correct me if I'm right 0=(x-(2x))(x-(-2x)) 0=(x-2i)(x+2i) 0=(x^2+2ix-2ix-4i) 0=(x^2+4) am i correct? now if the pairs were 1+3i, 1-3i I would have sub the same way like 0=(x-(1+3i))(x-(1-3i)) 0=(x-1+3i)(x+1-3i) and solve from that correct?

I doubt that hootenay... I'm thinking of x = -b -+ Square root of b^2-4ac over 2a equation and deriving it so that something will occur... I am confused...

Although i don't know what 2i represents... Is it x b c?

Im trying this... I just used (a+bi)(c+di) -(a+bi)(c+di)=0 -ac+adi+bci+bdi^2=0 -from previous question 2i, -2i I represented a = 0... and so forth -

Hi, I'm not sure if this is calculas based or algebra based so here's the question. ( (A) 2i, -2i For this question i don't know what is being asked so i guess the pairs could be x... I know this: ax^2+bx+c, a(x-h)^2+k and a(x-s)(x-t) So the problem is how can i use the things that i...
