AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding resources for practicing Algebra II and Trigonometry, emphasizing the need for a large number of practice problems with answers. The original poster mentions using their textbook but desires more problems for better mastery. Suggestions include utilizing online resources like OpenStax for exercises and engaging with homework forums for additional practice and support. The importance of understanding concepts through fewer, well-understood exercises rather than relying solely on automated solutions is highlighted. Overall, the thread encourages collaborative learning and resource sharing for effective practice.

Hi f(r)iends! I was wondering if any of you knew a place I could practice my Algebra II and Trigonometry - some place that had a *LOT* of practice problems (and, of course, answers).

I don't know about you guys, but for me, understanding the concepts aren't hard, it's being able to do any of the problems faster than you can say conjugate. I remedy this by (in my Algebra II class, for instance) doing all the problems my book has for that section, and checking in the back of the book to see if I got them right (odd only, sadly). The problem is, there are only 30-40 problems (so only 20 I can check), and I want more, dang it!

So do you guys know of a website, or a book I could buy, or something which has lots and lots (and lots) of practice problems for Algebra (II) and Trigonometry? Any step in the right direction would be very much appreciated. Thanks guys!

Books with questions, i.e. exercises can easily be found on the internet, e.g. https://openstax.org/subjects
For practice and solutions use our homework forums, but don't forget to tell us what you have done to solve it. A solution automaton is no good idea. It will only help you in the moment. In order to learn something from practising, you better do fewer, but correct exercises which you understood. If you need help, ask us!
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
