  1. Did anyone get 405 for #36 on the hw because it doesn't give the answer and I got the wrong answer on #33, but then I figured it out and fixed it.

  2. On #36 I also got 405 so it is probably the right answer. Can anybody also tell me if the answer for #33 is -360.

    Are the formulas given on the test or do we have to memorize them.

    For page 84 #21 and 22 I did not understand the problem at all and it is not in the answer list.

  3. The answer to #33 is -360 so yourright you can also look in the back of the book to check your answers. We didn't have to do #22 last class because we were only supposed to do the odds. For #21you just had to divide 12 by o.5 because you had to use the d=rt formula. So you were trying to solve for r because they already gave you the d and t.

  4. Yes, Maggie, you are correct.

    I agree with you Marc... I don't like the way they worded #21-22. What they meant (and should have said) was this:

    Use the formula d=rt for #21 & 22

    #21) Find the rate r (in miles per hour or mph) when d=12 miles and t=0.5 h
    #22) Find t (in hours) when d=120km and r=45 km/hr

    Let me know if that makes more sense.

    P.S. Since no one else has questions, I guess there is no need for me to review any homework?

  7. The bigger question is the comparison between #17 & #18. The question is:

    -2^5 =? (-2)^5

    ... and another question #23 & #24

    -3^4 =? (-3)^4

    The negative sign is essentially a multiplier. In other words, -2 could be written as -1*2 ... -3 could be written as -1*3 and so on.

    Does this info help you or CONFUSE YOU even more? As I said, we will examine both questions (AND MORE) in class tomorrow... WHAT FUN!!
