    Plane Trignometry o.o I took Algebra I in the 7th grade -.-

    ROFL... you're gonna HATE Pre-calc. and Algebra II

    The awnser is simply... (x+4)^2 -.-

    You sure you don't want my help?

    What are you taking again? D:

    Exponents can go suck it..

    1: x^2+2ab+b^2
    2: x^2+2(4x)+4^2
    3: x^2+8+2x+4^2?

    I'm not sure if step 3 is correct.

    I'm 10th grade remember?

    It's not that hard once you know how to do it. Remember that ^ is used to indicate an exponent.
    The trick to solving this problem is knowing the formula for perfect square trinomials. The formula is x^2+2ab+b^2. In this case x = a and 4 = b. Substitute them back into your equation and you get, x^2+2(4x)+4^2. The properties of the formula state that when it is in that form that the factored for of it is (a+b)^2.

    Knowing that... can you tell me what the solution is? Remember! What does a equal and what does b equal? From there it is as simple as plugging it in!

    It's no bother... I LOVE TEACHING MATH ;3

    ONE?! What grade are you again? O.O

    Screw you. Hard. I'm nowhere near stuff like that. :'(

    I don't know. I don't want to be a bother to you...

    Ah, that's right! You're ONE year younger than me :P

    Here's a math problem for you:
    Factor: x^2+4x+16

    This be a really ez question... cuz it's a perfect square trinomial :P You'll need to master factoring! Factoring will haunt you all through high school! I can tutor you if you ever need help!

    Oh dear. Trigonometry is soooo far away from me. I think I rather pass on your offer, mate. ^_^'

    Sine = Opposite/Hypotenuse Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse Tangant = Opposite/Adjacent

    They are used to calculate missing sides and angles in triangles.

    What's sine, cosine, and tangant?

    Thank you... it's just the sine, cosine, and tangant stuff from geometry though ;)

    Yesh sir ;3 I'm taking Plane Trig. next semester and I can't wait ;)
