I chose to multiply the first (2h^2) and last (-18) term and I got 36h^2. When i tired to find two digits that added up to -3h and reached a product of 36h^2 I couldn't. I was wondering if the answer was ** PRIME ** or if i was just missing two factors. Let me know. Thanks. //

<span style="background-color: #00ffcc; color: #ff0084; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 190%;">Posting- Hi. I think the president was William Henry Harrison. During his inauguration, it was a cold and brutal weather, it was snowing. He thought he was to tough to wear his coat, so he didn't wear one. He had to stay in the weather for many hours because his speech was very long. Unfortunately, in about four weeks later he had died because of his foolish mistake he made in the inauguration.

For the thought of the week, I think that the answer is William Henry Harrison. On March 4, 1841, his inauguration day, was also the day of a very brutal snowstorm. Unfortunately, Henry did not wear a hat or an overcoat while delivering his very long speech. This eventually led to pneumonia, which is how he died about a month after. Harrison is the first American president to die in office. **

How are you doing today. I have a question about tonight's homework. It's the Graphing Quadratic Functions sheet. I am really confused on how to solve these problems. I know how to tell if a parabola is up or down, but how do you find the vertex. I know to find the x - coordinate, you use the formula x= -b/2a. But when you find it, how do you get the y-coordinate. Then how do you get the vertex. As you can see, I am very confused. If someone can help it would be great. Thanks and have a good night.

= Name: Selma Zayer = = Date: 4/15/10 = =Type of posting: 3= =Posting: In order to graph these problems you first have to start off with finding the vertex. The equation for the x- coordinate is x = the opposite of b (NOT negative b)/ 2a. Then to find the y coordinate of the vertex you get the answer you got for x and plug it into the equation. Finding the y intercept: If the equation is x^2+x-2, you just make x equal to zero and solve for y. So y= 0^2+0-2 equals negative two. So basically the y intercept is always the number thats to the far right (since finding the x intercept always requires you to make x zero).=

You can then continue on with the problem because that will hold as the place holder. If you have any other questions, you can always come next door.

Name: **Nick Rizzo** Date: 4**/16/10** Type of posting: **2** Posting: Hey guys what’s up? :) I was doing the homework last night and I was confused about a problem. For number 4 I was unsure what to do since there was only 2 terms. Do i treat the empty space as a 1 or a zero? I wasn't sure. I decided to treat it as a 1. My vertex i got (-3,-3) My y-intercept I got 0,6. Then my x-intercepts i got (0,-3) and (0,3). Just curious what you guys got. Thanks for your time :)
