Math help

[jdgregory84]

Yes, the back of the book has the answer, but not how it got to it. My TI-89 tells me the answer but doesn't tell me the steps either.

So have you looked at the beginning of that chapter/section where it gives you an example of basically every problem that you'll have to do in that section to find out what's going on?

I'm stuck on factoring... That's right, I'm 25 years old and taking high school math. Made the Dean's list though!! LMAO

Hell, there's no shame in that; in a way it's better since you get a lot of partying out of the way first. At least, that's how I did it. I didn't go back until I was 26 but I'm graduating magna cum laude this Spring with a degree in mechanical engineering

Ha, not in that class.

I'm kind of looking forward to this class. It is the only class I have left to finish my math degree. I opted to get a minor instead of a major in math while getting my physics degree. I'll be finishing up my math with DE which is required for my industrial engineering degree. I'm resuming those classes in the fall

dy/dx = [cos(x-y) / sin(x)sin(y)] - 1

Solve for y.

Not liking this class already.

have you been on CribME to look for old homework and test solutions? What book are you using? There is probably a solutions manual available through the torrent sites...

But then you can't show off your uber hard course material! Haha...I'm glad those classes are long behind me and that my masters isn't nearly as technical as my undergrad. Undergrad degrees in ME and EE seem all but impossible.

I was the same way man...had to start with some shit that I didn't even get credit for. Just keep with it and keep practicing. Take all the math classes you can at the junior college because those egghead math professors at the university suck ass.

Shit, I had 4 years of calculus in college and even took an extra class on PDE's as an elective and I had to look in my book to figure this out. That's what I get for doing telecom for the last 10 years. The only time I had to use calculus in my whole working life was to calculate the polar moment of inertia of some interesting objects when I did robotics.
Most things you just look up in a table in the real world but I guess it's good to learn where the stuff comes from.

EDIT - I also googled it and it brought me back here for the answer.

Chapter didn't have any examples of trig subs. Dfwmustangs is great. We can get help on everything.

I just watched the old British series again on Hulu a few days ago... It was close to the top of my brain.
