Hai,
Thank you but would the x be equal to 2 ± 1 because of the square root b/c making a graph out of it doesn't seem to work out.

In your opinion, why do you think students hate and fear word problems? I myself struggle with word problems depending on the topic and level of mathematics. You say?
I think because they might mess up the formula are sometimes hard to find the equation while regular problems don't have any of that hassle

This is probably a bit confusing but hang with me. First someone think of a word. Then they post a scrambled version of the word. Then the other people guess the order of the letters. And the rest is like hangman. Ex
Person 1: ccehikn _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Person 2: is C the first letter?
Person 1: yes c _ _ _ _ _ _
Person 2: is k the 4th letter?
Person 1: no
Person 2 is n the last letter?
Person 1 yes c _ _ _ _ _ _ n
Person 2 is the word chicken?
Person 1 wow yes
Then it repeats all over again
For two words scramble the words separately
I'll start tcraep _ _ _ _ _ _

I was factoring the -1 out which made the problem very difficult instead of dividing on both sides. Lol 
#39 Re: Help Me ! » How to complete the square with x² having negative coefficient » 2021-04-23 07:09:36
I'll try that thank you!

I struggle completing the square without using the quadratic equation. Could some show me how does factoring out the negative works and how to find the vertex. A example problem is y= -x² +4x -3

#43 Re: Exercises » Find Distance Between Points » 2021-04-22 12:33:57
Find the distance between the points.
17. (−2, 6), (3, −6)
18. (8, 5), (0, 20)
19. (1, 4), (−5, −1)
20. (1, 3), (3, −2)
21. (1/2, 4/3) (2, −1)
22. (9.5, −2.6), (−3.9, 8.2)

would the formula be √ (x1 - x2)² + (y1 -y2)² ? edit: oop the link already said so

I'm just discovered this forum a few minutes ago and became very intrigued. I thought mathisfun was a old relic of the past but apparently not. What topic would you recomend browsing around in and what features would be helpful to know.
