forum I am in desperate need of someone who passed ninth grade math, or is at least decent at it. Kinda urgent.

I'll admit it up front, I'm just looking for answers rn, because I've got a shit ton to catch up on. If I don't get all this done by 4 tomorrow, I won't pass.

Aight whaddyou need?

Uuuhhh polynomial shit? The quiz has a time limit of sixty minutes, think you can help?

I'm almost done with 9th grade, and I think I remember polynomials. I'm down to try and help.

Thank god. Give me a sec to pull up one of the questions.

1.

coefficient: A number that multiplies a variable.

Find a coefficient of x in –7x, and a coefficient of y in y.

Well… the coefficient in -7x should be -7, and the coefficient of y would be 1, cause, ya know, 1y. I think. Idk, I'm kinda dumb, so.

Aaaa, the fraction didnt go through for y. 9/4?

Oh. I must have forgotten all my knowledge of polynomials. I am deeply sorry.

It's fine, don't worry. Simplified, wouldn't that be 2 1/4?

E-yes.

Here's to guessing, in that case

Oof mood.

Math is one of 2 classes I'm not caught up on, sorry. But if you need help with English, world history, or science hit me up

I might take you up on world hist. I've gotten English and Science done

Oh thank you lmao but math is the subject i struggle with most… dont know why I was trying to help… but… eh, too late.

Okay, I've got one that's still polynomial, but also distributive?

I, um, (obviously) don't know polynomials anymore, but I used to be pretty good at distributive. Then again, it's the end of the year, and… eyikes, idk anymore.

dfhjskhsf any chance you could take a look just in case?

yeah, but I'm kind of useless atm, so I'm really sorry if I (undoubtedly) get it wrong

honestly? guessing and wrong answers are completely fine, i just feel on the verge of a mental breakdown

Fill in the blank. What number in the blank ( ) does change the subtraction to addition in the step 1?

How to Subtract Polynomials Horizontally

Steps (5x2 – 3x + 4) – (2x2 + 6x – 1)

1. Use the distributive property to change the subtracted polynomial to an added polynomial. =(5x2 – 3x + 4)+( )(2x2 + 6x – 1)=(5x2 – 3x + 4) + (–2x2 – 6x + 1)
2. Solve it like an addition problem. =(5x2 – 2x2) + (–3x – 6x) + (4 + 1)=3x2 – 9x +5

so, the exponents dont fucking show up, but if you see a number, x, and then another number, that second number is an exponent

Ooh, heck, this is not what I am accustomed to. I'm really sorry, I kind of actually SUCK at math. Ugh, I really wish I could help.

Nah, you're good. I've got another friend helping me out, too
