i just need help with a few. please

tkhunny · Answer

$\dfrac{y+9}{36} - \dfrac{x+16}{64} = 1$

This seems to be what you have written.  Is that what you meant to write?

Perhaps this?

$\dfrac{(y+3)^{2}}{36} - \dfrac{(x+4)^{2}}{64} = 1$

the second! sorry

tkhunny · Answer

First, we need to be sure you are able to communicate.  Do you know how to fix what you have posted so that it will be what you intend?

anonymous · Answer

no. how do i do that?

anonymous · Answer

do i click on equation and put it there?

tkhunny · Answer

1) Remember your Order of Operations.  There are reasons why you studied this.  Remember it ALL!
2) Use parentheses liberally.

x + 2^2 is $x + 4$
(x + 2)^2 is $(x + 2)^{2}$

What a difference parentheses make!

okay. pemdas right?

tkhunny · Answer

You can use the Equation Builder.  It is very helpful.  You can also just learn that typing inline is different from handwriting or textbook printing.  You have to make sure you write what you mean.  You can't be casual about it.
