Hi Guys. Just wanted to say thanks for the help. I bit the bullet and hired a tutor, and it did wonders for my understanding. My biggest problem is the speed in which the class progresses, and I am finding that I'm left with big gaps in my understanding. The tutor helped me fill in some of...

And thanks for the links.

Thanks, I understand exponants. What was tripping me up was the square root. But I understand now that by squaring the root by itself you eliminate it.

The maths course I'm doing is a uni prep class one night a week. I'm not the only one that is stuggling with the course though. The problem I have is that there is some assumed knowledge, as you can see I have no maths background. Having said that, I'm not struggling with all the course but just...

so (\sqrt{\frac{5}{1-x}})^2, is 5/1-x and not 5/1-x times 5/1-x because that would give you 25/1-x. Or 25/1-x^2? Thanks

=2. Thanks, now I understand, when you multiply a square root by itself you eliminate the square root.

Would there be any chance of putting up some more of these types of equations for me so that I can see if I do get it. Or can you point me in the directions of a site that would have some. Thanks.

Wow, thanks guys I think I actually get it, how about that. I see where I was going wrong with the squaring. Like I said it's been a loooong time since I was in school, infact I don't even remeber any of this from school. Thanks Again.

How does this look? y = ~5/(1-x) = y= 5 squared / (1-x) squared y = 25 / (1-x) squared y/(1-x) squared = 25 (1-x) squared = 25y (1-x) = ~25y x = ~25y+1 Thanks

I'm not sure if this will work but...

Hi guys. I have just recently gone back to school and I'm having some problems with "assumed knowledge" . They assume that I actually have some maths knowledge but it has been nearly 20 years since I have done any of this so the knowledge that I had has long since evaporated. I'm having a...
