I am going to be a junior in high school this coming school year. I am a year ahead in math because I took Algebra in 8th grade, instead of the normal, which is 9th grade. I am going to be taking Honors Pre-Cal, and I was wondering what it's like. My Alg. 2 teacher said that she thinks I'll be really good at it, but I am still a little worried. I was wondering if it's anything like Algebra 2, or if it's a completely different thing. I've looked for websites offering practice on Algebra 2, so that I could refresh my brain and get it going again, but I could only find sites for up to 8th grade. What's up with that? If anyone knows anything about Pre-Cal or any sites with Algebra 2 practice, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

SERIOUSLY. The last few days there have been some VERY annoying flies in my office. Every single time I pick up the swatter the fly is gone. It doesn't matter how long I sit holding the swatter the fly will not show up. The very second I lay the swatter down, HERE COMES THE FLY! No matter how long I wait to pick up the swatter again the fly pesters me, then when I finally pick up the swatter, the fly is gone again. How do they do that? I KNOW it is not my imagination. Has anyone else noticed this? It drives me crazy!

My reasoning is this: What with the irrefutable evidence of a rise in CO2, esp. since the early 1970s, have we (thinking ESPECIALLY of Americans--U.S.A.) been driving more (suburbia, malls, etc.), sitting more, and hello, the size "6" of today being the size "10" of 20 years ago? I guess I am reaching for ways to deal with my dismay of our culture of the sanctioning and encouragement of recreational eating, particularly when the health care providers do not seem AT ALL to be addressing this vigorously with their patients; this I am seeing from the medical reports I transcribe. Two-fold question, then:
1. An obesity / increased atmospheric CO2 connection? AnyBODY want to WEIGH in on this one?
2. Why is obesity something political, something that we must now re-word when describing--e.g., all "overweight" and no more "obese" as descriptors? When did this culture of encouraged overindulgence begin? How did this sacred COW come to be born?

In driving school we learned that if you don't wear a seatbelt during a car crash then your body will be hurled to the site of impact. How does that make any sense when for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction? Wouldn't your body move away from the site of impact?

Think about those little silver beads that hang. When the first one hits the second bead, the second bead doesnt hit the first bead again, it hits the third bead.
