I am already very bad at math when it comes to hw and sometimes understanding the equations. How can I understand it better or at least memorize the equation formulas for the test? What is your method? Or is it the only way to just read the equation over and over and memorize it? I know that is a bad way...but I am not born for math....the harder stuff anyways!!!

I'm usually an indivual..that means i work alone, so working alone ususally helps me. But remember: math isnt all that hard...its just about RULES. You need to follow all the rules, step by step.

[2x+3]=7 (i'm guessing [ ] stand for definitely the cost indications | | ) 2x + 3= 7 or 2x + 3 = -7 2x + 3 = 7 2x = 7 - 3 = 4 x = 4 / 2 = 2 2x + 3 = -7 2x = -7 - 3 = -10 x = -10 / 2 = -5 So the strategies are x= 2 and x=-5. (a million)x^2 - 3x < 0 Quadratic equtaion: ax^2 + bx + c = 0 So, a = a million, b = -3, and c = 0 () even with the actuality that it is not written in an unique equation the a million is known to be there For the style of equations you should apply the quadratic formula, factoring, or graphing. Quadratic formula = (-b (+ or -) sq.(b^2 - 4 ac)) / 2a notice: sq.( ) = sq. Root x = (-(-3) (+ or -) sq.((-3)^2 - 4(a million)(0)) / 2(a million) x = (3 (+ or -) sq.((-3)^2 - 4(a million)(0)) / 2(a million) x = (3 (+ or -) sq.(9 - 0) / 2(a million) x = (3 (+ or -) sq.(9)) / 2(a million) x = (3 (+ or -) sq.(9)) / 2 x = (3 (+ or -) 9) / 2 x = (3 + 9) / 2 = 12 / 2 = 6 x = (3 - 9) / 2 = -6 / 2 = -3 x = -3 and six changed as a collection of x : answer: {x | -3 < x < 6} examine: x is larger that -3 and under 6

Practice Problems. You have to drill it into your head. I make a equation quick sheet from my notes, then do all the problems I didn't understand in class and in homework, then open the book and do problems that we didn't do for homework. Practice, there's no way around it, but if you do enough, by the time the test comes, it'll come naturally and you won't sweat the easier problems, gives you more time for harder. And sometimes, teacher bases questions on those you already did, so it pays to redo class examples, because you could see similar problems again.

Talk to your math teacher and see if you can get a tutor that will help you in math. Asking for help is resourceful, and the teacher will be glad you asked them.
To help study for a test, write the problems down at least five times each on a piece of paper. That might help you remember the problem. Another good idea is to have a friend over so she can quiz you, or you can quiz her. Or form a math (and maybe even other subjects) study group with friends in your class. Working with friends will help because you can help them with material they don't understand and they can help you with yours.
Good luck! :-)

Study the techniques for solving the problems. After you are familiar with how to solve the problems review on specific problems that you have done before to solidify the mechanics. Finally make up a few problems that are similar and then solve them and check to see if you did it correctly.
This study technique moves from theory to practice to mastery.

Honestly...math is ALL about practice, practice, practice. You can memorize formula BUT it will only take you so far. There are ALOT of formulas where its just much more complicated than plugging in numbers.

Try to understand how the fact/formula/equation/technique you are trying to learn was derived, and give it life by inventing a story that will help you remember it

writing it all down helps me remember. take a sheet of paper and write down the equations/formulas you are going to be using. then do some sample problems. keep rewriting the equations if necessary
Make yourself a study sheet with all of the equations/formulas on them.

with a friend. that way when you're done, you can hang out and chat. (but don't like talk all the way through your study time cuz you won't learn anything. trust me.) or you can think of little things to remember equations like, funny sayings and stuff.
hope this helps

Remember the Fomula !! all of them that might be in the test, if u don't know the math fomular u would get it wrong.
