Lessons: you can explore the lessons available on algebra such as
simplifying, equation or factoring among others.
Calculators: you can use
calculators if you are having problems in solving some equation. The calculator
can show the best answer with the step by step solution on how you may solve the same equation. With these calculators, the students had been
able to solve over 15 million equations.
However, the calculators are not meant to solve
the equation only since they can help you to know step by step method that you
can use while solving the problem at hand.
Worksheet: If you need practice
with some new problems, then you can use the worksheet section. You may compare
the answers against the answer keys, and then you may see step by step solution
for every problem.
If you still need to get extra help, you can
contact a math tutor or an algebra tutor online, and he will be ready to help
you to out.
Most of the students do not like the idea of
having to learn algebra while in high school and in college since they do not think
that they may use it in their everyday life.
However, learning algebra helps in solving financial problems, business
solution, and even everyday dilemmas. If
you want to succeed with algebra, you have to start by understanding the
situations that require formulas with concepts. The best part is that the common life problems require highly recognizable technique and they are widely
applicable. You can use the quadratic equation if you want to find the minimum
or the maximum of a certain value. You
can then use the linear equation if you want to determine which type of the service
you are able to afford if the service does involve the flat fee and the rate. Use
two linear equations in the system if you wish to compare two different plans
and you want to figure out the turning point that makes a plan to be better compared to another.
You can use exponential equation if you want
to represent or to solve the saving on the loan situation. If you are not able
to know which type of the equation
involved, you may attack the situation
using real-life situation and convert the idea into numbers. If you are writing
the equation starting from your words, you should not copy down each part of
problem or orders. You should consider numbers
and the unknowns and how they can relate from one to another. The values may be
expected to be smaller or larger. You may use common sense if you are writing
out an equation. If you are not sure, you can draw a graph or a picture. This
can help in brainstorming how to use the equation which may fit better the
situation.
