Help me anons finish my retarded college algebra homework. It's really simple because it is for retards such as my self...

B.
In algebra II my math teacher did a thing where he made his arms like the functions, so I remember it years later.

it's B user. -sqrt11 is the coefficient.

photomath. Just use it negro

B homie

Literally just use a calculator

I'm scared of talking to women user. I don't think I can...

I'm almost done guys! Here is the second to last one!!

Guys I need help with my advanced super-calculus for college

Attached: Helpp.png (720x960, 35K)

I GUESSED 3 AND I WAS CORRECT HOLY SHIT AM I SMART OR WHAT??

3, if I remember correctly.
Also I feel really bad for you being in such remedial math

It has to be B. The negative sign means the right side goes down and the odd coefficient means the sides go in opposite directions.

x --> oo
f(x) --> oo

x --> -oo
f(x) -->oo

*oo is supposed to be the infinity symbol since you can't write non-ASCII text

the fuck you doing without wolframalpha

my guess is OP is underage b& and doesn't want us to think he's in high school.

>he typed all that shit in like a retard

It's okay. I'm not planning on doing anything with math anyways. Thank you so much for all of your guys' help. You guys are more intelligent than I am, so things that are hard for me can be solved easily. These threads end up making everyone happy.

Not OP but what are some good math learning resources? Been pretty average my whole life but I'm realizing that it's a good skill to learn for careers and shit so I'd like to actually get better.

If you just want to look at a function real quick, desmos is way easier. also
>tfw school gives you mathematica for free

Not underage. >Dddd

OP hate to tell ya this but this was covered in highschool (unless you're taking it in highschool for dual-credit, though that doesn't make sense since courses called College Algebra are review for highschool algebra.)
I fucking swear that College Algebra should just be called Remedial Highschool Algebra instead.

LAST PROBLEM !!! HELP HELP HELP

you're just an underage autist savant that got pushed into college early, gtfo kiddo

D.
Also I'm sure whatever college you go to has an honor code, which you're breaking right now.

c,d yw

Nobody would get pushed into college early without finishing algebra II.
t. formerly underage autistic savant who got pushed into college early but at least took pre-calc before going

OP wtf why are you in such an easy class? You should be in calculus by now, or at the very least precalc.

Not trying to blame my retard on others, but my high school algebra teacher really sucked. Hardly anyone passed the class. The people who did were tryhards that taught themselves at home. I still don't understand why algebra is such an important thing in education. Just because you arent good at algebra it doesnt mean you arent smart. or does it? idk i fucking hate america's education system. I'm a product of it. Trust me I've tried. I've paid living human being tutors and all sorts of other things, but I just have a mental block when it comes to algebra.

tldr; Im learning japanese and I know all of the kana plus 600 kanji. Fuck you guys who think they are so good because they are better at algebra then I am.. I'm actually learning what I fucking want to.

In his defense, American high school is fucked. My Algebra II teacher barely taught shit and if I wasn't already ok at math, I would have failed. Unless you're in AP courses, the don't really give a shit to teach you anything other than enough to get you to pass a final

D.

Remember this: A positive first term means the right sign of the line goes up and a negative first term mean it goes down. The exponent on the first term determines the left side. It it's even, the left side will go in the same direction as the right and if odd the left side will go opposite of the right. In the case of this problem they're saying the exponent is to the 3rd degree (cubed). Therefore both side of the line will be going in different directions.

i think its newton

But isn't what OP asking about covered in algebra II? I'm a highschool senior currently in Precalc (I'm 18 don't ban me) and I learned the types of problems OP is learning in algebra II.
OP what college/uni are you going to? I fucking swear if it's a decent one and not a community college...

It's one of the best in my state. Oldest too.

Post student id card (incriminating info blocked out obviously)

pt 2. It's also to the point where I don't even read the problems anymore. I've taken 2 Algebra 2 classes in high school because I failed the first time when I was a Junior. They placed me in retard college math, but I am really good at english so I got placed in an advanced english class.

>getting placed in "advanced english" in college
wat

I can't afford a smartphone. I'm on the computer in the library right now.

There are honors english classes in college dawg.

I'm also in a Japanese class, but it's full of weaboos. I know like 10000x more than they do not to brag.

It's B.

t. accounting grad who had to take this course at my school

Wish my math was easy like this, I'm also 18 and I have to learn linear algebra (which is my weakest topic)

You are probably bad at math because you had so many shit teachers. Have you considered a tutor? I also heard Khan Academy's good. Asking help on Jow Forums is not sustainable in the long run.
If you have the drive to be in such hard classes, you can probably stop being bad at math. Sorry for the shit educational system failing to teach you math bud.
Also, are you good because you're smart, or because you work hard? I'm trudging through my senior year of highschool (once again I'm 18) and I can barely get the motivation or discipline to do my homework or even study. I'm actually decent at math but fucking hell why so much homework. As a college student in advanced classes, I'd like some advice.

It's definitely not. In a cubic polynomial function both ends go in opposite directions. The question is asking which one is not a cubic polynomial function mean both side have to go in the same direction. D is the only one that meets this criteria.

It's D. Cubics (and any polynomial whose highest exponent is odd) go to positive-negative infinity, so D's a contradiction.

Wolfram Alpha you dunce.

I have next to no patience with algebra anymore. I've had the same classes over and over and it just is all a mess in my head since each teacher taught it differently. I can understand basic math. It's really simple because you only have plus, minus, divide, multiply. You always know what the fuck you are supposed to do. When it comes to algebra, I don't know if (2,3) is supposed to be zeros, a point on the graph, or some other thing. Everything is so similar. I digress. It pains me to hear the word algebra anymore. I'm switching majors so I don't have to take this retarded math class anymore. This is the first time I've used Jow Forums to help me with my homework. I was feeling really shitty earlier and I had to do this online math assignment by midnight. By the way, why the fuck did we switch from books to online? Whose fucking idea was it? At this point I'm just complaining, but it feels good to write down my thoughts I guess. I just want to focus on doing my AJATT instead of math. I've done enough algebra, now I want to learn something I'm interested in for a fucking change.

This is why you take AP and get that shit out of the way

I don't know if you have the time but there's a lot of books covering the entirety of pre-college math. Maybe try teaching yourself?
In any case, as a last resort, try the website, mathisfun. It covers the surface of highschool math and some college math topics as well. It won't give you a formal understanding of math but it's a good way to make yourself understand it.
Also, there's a sci board on Jow Forums. They resources on learning math.

My parents tell me I'm smart, but I don't really believe it. I have my own philosophy now when it comes to learning. If you want to learn something, it has to be something you enjoy doing. You can't be proficient at something you despise and have no interest in. At the very best you could be mediocre at the skill. Japanese is something that means a lot to me because I really love JAV (just kidding) . No, but seriously, whenever I'm doing anything in Japanese I feel like I'm a god. It makes me feel smarter than everyone else even though I just am interested in the language. I have fun learning it. That's all there is to it. You don't have to be a genius, because everyone can learn a language as long as they have all of their chromosomes.

Fucking hell I could've been in AP calc but I never got in any honors math courses because I never did homework. For fuck's sake I got a 100% on every math test I've ever taken in highschool but that damn homework...
Are there any books and music for this feel?
I wish the smart but lazy meme wasn't real.

dont you have a graphing calculator? All you have to do is plug it in to the calculator and have it graph it for you

Well, the thing is some functions extend beyond the default screen the graph is in. And it's really slow especially on a test. So normally, they teach students to memorize facts about polynomial functions. But man, it's hard to teach math. And it's hard to learn math unless you're already good at it.
Why is math a hard subject for so many people? My mom lost her college scholarship because she failed calculus, and she could never understand math no matter how many times she tried to study. Is it some sort of inherent mental block present in some people.

i passed calc 1 and 2 and im kind of a brainlet, I understood just enough to pass.

C and D have 5 and 4 known zeroes respectively and thus cannot be cubic functions.

A and B can both still be cubic functions.

You did it wrong, because it's negative it has to be B, that's fucking obvious.

certain people will not admit they don't understand a concept, but can muddle their way through concepts that are predicated on the one they don't understand by recognizing patterns

this lack of understanding eventually compounds and the people gets stuck somewhere, they really just have to go back to basics

bruh just use the zoom key.
the math you're learning (functions) is basic tier, something that kids learn when they are 14. I have to learn linear algebra before I can even get into college REEEEEEEEEE

Based. Nice job catching the zeroes on C.

Wrong. Cubics are not defined by their end behavior.

A polynomial of degree n has n zeroes. Both C and D have more than 3 zeroes and are thus not cubics. The other two options are both 3 and 1 known zeroes and thus are the only potential options. Although C and D might LOOK like they cross the x axis so many times, they have zeroes with multiplicity which count depending how much the multiplicity is.

I remember hearing that somewhere else. Seems fairly obvious but the linear forced pace of education makes it hard to go back to basics.

I spent a good chunk of time conducting an expository proof to Bezout's Theorem and thus know my shit on algebraic curves.

Thanks for correcting me senpai. Looks like me and everyone else needs to brush up on math.

kek. pearson mathlabs, you're either underage or 18.

t. 18 year old doing college algebra on pearson mathlabs

Look at all of these fucking tards. It's C,D. You guys talk about how this is all basic shit yet you fight and argue about it and can't come to an agreement. No one fucking understands algebra. You only know the version of algebra your teacher taught you. There are over 900 versions of algebra. There is no use learning it.

Oops sorry about that, I just assumed it was something I knew.

I'm in fucking college you retard. They said pearson methlabs was required for the course. I'm not the one dumbing down everything in college.

Meh. It's inevitably unnecessary. I just pull out my mathematics knowledge whenever I need to impress some bitches.

Holy shit you're stupid I was talking about a different problem. Learn to read, is it really that difficult Mister special ed.?

The thing is, the only people good in math are those who have degrees in math in the first place. Don't expect people in an autistic basket weaving forum to remember jack shit when the educational system works by putting crap in one ear yet it goes out the other.
I want to be reborn in a universe where the educational system is actually good.

>you guys talk about how this is all basic shit

Never said that. I guarantee you I know more about the subject than most if not everyone here and even I admit how overwhelmingly complicated the concepts can get once you introduce any actual rigorousness and how most of this shit is ultimately futile and just to feed my insatiable need to autism out.

I was explaining to him how to use his graphing calculator better. He didn't have to use it as there are similar ways such as looking at the number of turning points to spot a cubic equation

I always ask myself "Why am I learning this when people have already learned this in the past? I'm not discovering anything new or doing anything interesting. I suck at this and I find it extremely boring, why can't the people who are better than me just learn it?" Someone who is a master painter doesn't tell you "L OL U SUCK YOU NEVER TRIED IN HIGH SCHOOL ART CLASS HAHAHAH" I fucking loathe how education systems push algebra like it is a class on breathing. EVERYONE MUST LEARN IT AGGAHRFEGJRBJISF

It's exercise for your brain, user. Besides, everything is inherently worthless if that's the perspective you choose to have. Given x, you will always find a reason y that it's bullshit.

Not really. You learn the shit you are good at. You get really good at what you love. Taking a shit is an exercise for your brain too. shut the fuck up and kill yourself

Cool it on the animosity. You've now made it clear that you're insecure about what some specific people have said and are now projecting that onto me. I don't give a fuck what you do and am not judging you. I work on a small farm now because I enjoy it. Still, I'm not about to go and curse academia out of some pathetic insecurity. They can do what they want to do with their life.

>Taking a shit is an exercise for your brain too.

>x is y
>b is y too!

Fascinating.

>this is what mutts study in college and pay literally tens of thousands of dollars for

my fucking sides. thats literally middle school math dude

Lol you are so fucking retarded. Saying "You are insecure" is not an argument faggot. Grow some fucking balls. x< w > e if Niggers are f(gay). You are so fucking smart.

I'm not even arguing with you. You're being clouded by your ego in some futile attempt to "win" when you're the only one even trying to compete.

It's OK that you're insecure. Everyone gets insecure. You just need to drop the defense and realize that you're projecting all your frustrations with school on some random string of posts on a West Virginian berry picking forum.

If someone is going to look down at you for not being good at something, who cares? Stop caring what other people think. If you want to do something else with your life, go do it.

>tfw currently failing my third try at intermediate college algebra

How the fuck does anyone understand this shit? You're all saying it's easy. I swear I'm not stupid but I haven't set foot in a math classroom in 10 years. The professor is speaking a foreign language and everyone is fluent but me. """Difficult""" science classes are a cakewalk but this is impossible. Do I just need to give up and waste half a year on the no-credit highschool math equivalent? I've taken more advanced math classes than this one I just can't remember any of it.

The fact that this insanity is placed on the same level as incredibly simple stuff like english 101 and psych 101 is ridiculous to me. Is college level math just hopeless if you don't start straight out of high school?

What is your end goal with university? What necessity does the math class have relative to the goal?

>Is college level math just hopeless if you don't start straight out of high school?

Not always, but it does sound as if you should consider another path in life.

For my linear algebra intro class we used pearsonlabs in addition to instruction. It's not a bad tool at all, but it's expensive. I took a good portion of notes using their 'Help me solve this' option, and it was helpful most of the time.

Some people are delusional in their attempt to rationalize their insecurity. It's a defense mechanism to keep from being hurt; they'll find a reason why something is "bad" so that they can belittle it and regain "dominance". It's some apelike shit brainlets use when they don't know how to just be content and enjoy something.

WTF does "end behavior" mean?

I'm not going to interject into the discussion, but isn't insecurity a pop-psychology freud-esque thing? Not that it lessens the argument but the offending poster might just be an asshole in general.

Intermediate algebra is a requirement for any degree in my state, even an associate's. There may be a couple of other math classes required as prerequisites for related science classes. I'm in a biology-based program. The """difficult""" classes are easy, it's just this """simple""" math that's hard. They're low-level stuff as far as math is concerned but for someone with effectively no background it's ridiculous. It's really poorly thought out considering that literally everyone will forget the content within two years of graduation.

I struggled with algebra for many years, and now I'm doing multivariate calculus. The trick is to start at the basics. Go learn what 1/2, 0.5, and 50/100 means. Search online for course materials on arithmatic. And most importantly, DO PRACTICE PROBLEMS. This is the #1 reason why so many people fail maths. You need to practice in order to learn, I don't care how confident you are the material makes sense, you need to practice.

Then, do the same for algebra. Start at the absolute basics, do practice problems, and then move on to the next section. There's loads of material online that will help you learn and practice.

actually the lead coefficient for x^3 is -sqrt(11)...
