First thing: We aren't here to do an entire homework assignment which you have neglected this winter break.
Second thing: I don't see a single radical in any of the questions you have posted.
I suggest you find a friend who knows what they are doing and work with them. If you have some specific problems which you are giving you a headache, then go ahead and post them. 30 questions is just outrageous to expect someone to do your homework for you.
Math is a learning experience, training logic into you. By me giving you all the answers, you will finish the assignment, but you will fail the understaing of the topic.

Well, excuse me!
I am not asking for someone to do my WHOLE assignment for me, and I didn't neglect it over Christmas Break. I just recieved it yesterday from my teacher. He hasn't taught me how to do any of these things, so it's all brand new to me. And I wasn't saying they were radicals. That is what the Chapter is called. It's a review over the chapter. The book doesn't explain it, and I wasn't given any notes! I was just asking if maybe a few people could take some time out of their day and explain a few problems to me! You don't have to be so rude to someone you haven't even spoke to before and don't know. I didn't do anything to you. I just don't want to get a zero. I'm sorry, but I want to pass my math class!

How can this be the "review" if none of this has been covered? And how is it that you can't even do the elementary-school arithmetic, such as "simplify 8 + 28" or "simplify 3 × 5", or did you not bother to format the questions correctly? And why do the instructions refer to radicals and the need to rationalize denominators, when no radical signs are included? Are we supposed to be reading your mind or channelling your book through our crystal balls, to figure out where the heck the square-root signs are supposed to be?
Meanwhile, since, according to you, none of this has been mentioned at all in class, doing one example of each would likely be quite insufficient to teach you all the material. I'm afraid we can't teach lessons here, so you'll need to go elsewhere to learn the material first. Try search engines. (Since we can't even tell for sure what you've posted, it will be difficult for us to try to recommend anything in particular. Sorry.)

So maybe the formatting problem here is due to him having typed out all thirty exercises on that other site using their math graphics, and then copy-n-pasting the thirty exercises here (hence the word-for-word sameness), not bothering to notice that, naturally, the other site's graphics don't work here.pka said:
How nice that he "chose" to be so considerate and diligent. I'm sure anybody who "chooses" to "help" him will be just as diligent. I'll be sure to check this thread periodically to see. :roll:

Re: Well, excuse me!
Even if it means cheating? :shock: Everybody here knows where I stand on posts like this. I didn't care to look at 30 problems that you simply copy and pasted from some other site. You didn't even check to make sure all of the problems made sense. So why should we care? Hey, if you don't want to behave in school, that's on you, pal. I'm sure your teacher would love to see what you're doing with the problems he/she gave you. :roll:

Higoth, to be frank, you are an idiot.
First of all, why post in two forums? Even if you do decide to do that, then have the decency to at least make sure that you update the forum that can't read the signs. Also, if you get your problems answered in another forum, then explain to the other people that you have. I highly doubt that anyone on FMH will want to help you anymore if you are ungrateful. I have been a member of Math Goodies for a long time, so I ought to know. I believe you owe the hard-working people at both sites an apology. But then again, I can't force you to.
Thank you for your time,
