Section 1: Thought Question of the Week

 For one week, each morning a woman went up to her neighbor's house and stuck something through the letter box. It wasn't a letter, so what was it?

 Clues:  1. The neighbor was on vacation for a week.  2. The woman attempted to get the local police involved.

Name: Corey Pic Date: May 6, 2010 Type of Posting: 1 Posting: Since the neighbor had a garden in her backyard, the woman thought it would be nice to take some fresh grown fruit. However, she did not want to just steal it so, the woman slipped money into the letterbox. The neighbor attempted to get the police involved because she noticed that someone stole her fruit. However later on the neighbor realized that the woman paid her for her fruit.

She did this so that she could steal her most valuable items and sell them on e-bay. When the neighbors returned home, they realized they had been robbed. The woman got the police involved to find out who took their stuff when it was actually her. She tried to make it look like she had not done it and had tried to help the neighbors. The police had found the woman's purse in the neighbor's house and then she was arrested.

The original problem, **note that I am using / as the rational bar**, is **<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">(/5 - /2)(/2 + /6) **<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">. I know I have to distribute and when I do I get, **<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">/10 + /30 - /4 - /12. **<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">/4 <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;"> is a perfect square so I break it down to <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">2 <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">, and I break <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">/12 <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;"> down to the final answer of <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">2/3 <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">. My final answer for the problem is **<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">/10 - /30 -2 – 2/3 **<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">. Is this the correct answer?

Kennedy, for tonight's homework, all your work is correct. You distributed, and broke down the perfect square correctly. All your work is right, but for my final answer i got <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">**<span style="color: #ff007c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">/10+/30-2-2/3 ** <span style="color: #008080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">, instead of <span style="color: #ff007c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">/10-30-2-2/3. <span style="color: #008080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> The only thing I got different was that it is /10+/30 instead of /10-30, because /5+/2=positive ten! Besides that, your answer is correct!

On the Back you had to multiply the bottom part with the bottom part and top part to the bottom part. But, you had to change the sign of the Bottom part. Does the top part( before being multiplied) distribute to the bottom part? Thanks__ ===

===**<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #0099ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Posting: Hey Marissa! For the 17, the problem is 5 over -3-3/3. You are not supposed to combine the -3-3/3. You have to do the conjugate by changing the -3-3/3 to -3+3/3. And then times it by both sides which it then will be -15+15/3 over 9-27. You can then simplify by -15+15/3 over -18. Hope that helps! **===

=== Posting: Hi Juliet. You are supposed to FOIL! You can just do the FL in foil because the middle will cancel out but you can also just foil everything. Your final answer should be -28.

This can only happen when on the same line though. If it is over a division bar then it can be done. And also if there is a number in front of the radical then you dont multiply but add or subtract the number in front.
