OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry. back
had a phone call
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(3x-2y) squared is the same as (3x-2y)(3x-2y)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
distribute the first 3x and the first negative 2y into the second 3x and the second -2y.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
making sense?

2xsquared+3xy-4ysqyared
x is 2
y is -4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
simply substitute the values for x and y into the equation...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2(2)^2 + 3(2)(-4) - 4(-4)^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
but the abswer i get is -32 but it i supposed to be -80
OpenStudy (anonymous):
should be -80

are you taking a college algebra class currently?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im taking a pplacement test tomorrow for community college im nervous
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you will be fine. good luck!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what else should i know for it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for a college placement test you probably need a basic understanding of pre algebra, algebra, and geometry concepts. Maybe a little bit of trigonemetric concepts, but nothing too extensive.

about 2 months ago I was tutoring a student who was preparing for the ACT Test. He kept failing the math section of the test. He improved his score this time and was accepted into college.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
tutor me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just be sure to get a good night's rest and eat a good meal before you take the test.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
repetition of the the concepts and practice, practice, practice is the name of the game when it comes to mastering mathematic concepts.
