TO factor that the easiest way for me would be to use the quadratic formula. COmpleting the square would work if A = 0 but since A=9 then use the quadratic formula where b= 0 the only problem with the quadratic formula would be memorizing it xD it's a bit time consuming, but the quadratic formula works for anything, so it's a good last resort when you have no idea what to do xD

I'm sorry guys. You all have been a big help, but I'm worn out and still confused. I need to ask a human face to face about this no problem, Bleak! It would definitely help to have face to face to explain it more thoroughly than through text xD glad to have been of some help! Take a break and do something fun, you're doing just fine c:

lol not if you sing it to the tune of Pop goes the weasle lol. Blame by high school math teacher. He showed us the video once and I memorized it real quick.
It works great with me bc I have issues with numbers and factoring. I'm great with algebra but arithmetic is hard bc I have Dyscalculia, which is like Dyslexia but with numbers.

oh my gosh that;s great haha xDD I've done so many equations by now that I just have it stuck in my brain, but a song would be great xD actually now that I think about it....my precalc teacher has been mentioning something about the quadratic song and how she doesn't want to hear us sing it xDDD
Ahh okay I see! Quadratic formula is definitely easy and everyone has a method that best works for them! c:

lol yeah it's really catchy and my brain has to sing it everytime I write it. I heard that it's been sung in another tune tho. But idk what tune
It does get annoying to use tho when there isn't a perfect square.

ive only heard of it now so I wouldn't know xD
ugh yes. Or if there's a complex number, that makes it even worse.

lol my math professor this semester sang it to us which was hilarious and then said he was never gonna sing again.
yeah like On one hand it's really good to plug into my graphing calculator but if I need a straight answer and not rounded then I'll take the time to factor it out, which takes me a while bc I have to use a calculator to do simple math expressions.

bahah oh my gosh that's great xDD
Lol I still plug in things like 7 + 3 into my calculator, you're good xDD but yeah, it's just so many steps. I really don't like math and yet I like algebra xD

Same. Hate math, enjoy algebra.
My math class right now is a fast track class to get me from intermediate algebra to Calc in 2 semesters instead of 3. I took Precalc in high school but that was 4 years ago and I had to retake the placement exams and didn't study. SO I'm kinda ahead in my class from what I learned in high school which means I have a high A which is better than what I used to get in high school xD

wow you're a math whiz!! dang hahah
I took college algebra in 4 weeks and got a B in that class, the only thing that killed me was the final exam bc i have test anxiety. Currently taking precalc now and will take calc next semester. i wish I didn't have to go so high in math lol

That's probably one of my biggest issues. I don't use a calculator mostly because I don't know how to use oneI would REALLY recommend a scientific calculator. They help a ton and make things so much easier.

What kind of calculator do you use Bleak? I know a lot of them can ger really complicated really quickly. My math professor had to teach us how to use our Graphing calculators.
and lol same on the test anxiety. I had a math test earlier and since our power was out last night and this morning and the book is online I couldn't study or do any homework. I have to at least go to calc for my video game dev degree.

lol yeah I told my proff and he said he'd extend the due date for me.
and yeah I wanna go into video game design but there isn't a major for that here so I'm gonna to development and see if I can go to an art/tech school after I get my AA for design. that way i have a solid background in programming too. What are you studying then?

I actually want to have my own Indy company. I have a lot of ideas and I don't want another company to ruin them. But for experience I'd enjoy working for Naughty Dog or Bathesda or Bioware. lol what kind of game are we talking about? PC? Standalone? Series? Console? All time? Current?
and thats great! I think that if this doesn't work out for me I might go into marine biology or zoology. I really love animals and nature and I LOVE learning about them too. But I just have so many ideas for games that I want to get them done.

Oh that's awesome! Indy games are really great :3 I wanted to go to Naughty Dog, Rocksteady, or Suckerpunch. But working at any company would be cool, honestly. Uhhh let's start with all time favorite xD
Thanks! Ooh marine bio! I love the ocean life, it would definitely be an awesome field to go into! Haha I get what you mean. The creative brain won't shut off xD

All time fav would have to be.... Undertale. It's close with Skyrim but while Skyrim is a lot of fun to play I got so much more from the experience of Undertale. I love that game so much. How about you?
and Yeah I LOOOOOOOVE whales. Especially Bowhead Whales. Such very interesting creatures tbh. ANd like I'm terrified of going into the ocean and stuff but I very much love learning about all the creatures and organisms that live in it. I used to want to be like a teacher, artist, writer along with a police officer, forest ranger and palentologist. It wasn't untill i watched a YTer get an amazing experience from a game that I realized.... I WANT TO BE A YOUTUBER. then I realized that I would be terrible at that so I figured I would make the games that people get the amazing messages and experiences from. THen I can do EVERYTHING.

Ah sweet! I only got partway through undertale...probably because I'm more of a console gamer XD My favorite has to be the Last of Us. Like seriously, that game changed my life. And the storytelling is phenomenal. Whale are awesome!! I love humpback whales and nlue whales!! And I agree, the ocean itself is scary but the things living in it are cool! Ha you'll be the one the youtubers will be talking about

I don't really have preference from Pc or console. But Undertale was such a good game for me. I've beat the Pacifist route twice and plan to do a third(on my..... youtube channel....) but I haven't had time. I've heard such great things about Last of Us and even watched the making of it. I haven't played it myself bc I don't like scary games and I hate zombie(ish) games and ideas. I love the Uncharted series tho! That's my all time fave game series tbh and I still haven't beaten Uncharted 4 but I can't wait too.
I love watching ocean and nature documentaries on Netflix and stuff. and aww thanks I wanna try and get to that point. I know a lot of my ideas would be very well recieved if I can pull them off.

Yeah I totally get what you mean! I hates playstation until the Last of Us. Games are good no matter what system! Ah I totally get that. I myself am a huge zombie fan and I love horror games, so it was really appealing to me. I used to be terrified of zombies but then I watched pewdipie play the walking dead game and I couldn't get enough. The uncharted series is another of my favorites!!! 4 is so good, honestly it's probably my favorite! I'm working on second playthrough.
Yeah definitely. Nature is sofascinating! You'll be good, I can guarantee shushhh xD

(Sorry I was in class and working on a lab) I just don't do well with getting scared so I like watching others play games(usually if my gf has watched it before hand and can warn me of jumpscares) but yeah Uncharted is such a good series. The first game really threw me for a loop when all of a sudden there were mutant zombie creatures and I had to pause it to wait for my gf to get home before continuing. but gosh do I love those games. I think 2 is my fav so far. aww thanks
