I hate you ALEKS!!!

My handwriting can be very hard to read at times, especially with lots of math symbols. So what I'm doing is using Screenshot Pimp for FireFox to take a picture of the full page when I have problems explained. I keep those in a folder for future reference.

I'm also keeping track of pie slices, have 88/140 (44%) of college algebra and just under 4 hours in the can. I had a pretty good initial assessment so YMMV on that.

It can get really frustrating when there are types of problems that I just don't have figured out yet. I do okay, but problems like: drive me nuts.

go to mathway.com and click on pre-calc
enter your problem complete and when you get to the last entry ? enter X within the brackets
log[9]((1)/(25))=-2log[9](x)
the program will ask "solve the equation" click answer
the return x=5
and then click on the graph you will see x=5 graphed

if you only need the number (non graphing problem you can enter n in the brackets)
log[9]((1)/(25))=-2log[9](n)

I like to use x, y, 0 or 1 for everything. it did not work with those darn multiplying matrices problems though. Still cant wrap my mind around those problems no matter how much I try. matrix 1 + matrix 2 x matrix 3....UGGHHHH!


Hope this helped!
