Getting ready... I have the day off and I get to take Grady in to get his braces off;)
BIG DEAL I suppose... lol
What about you sweet honey?

Still not been able to sleep for more than 3 or 4 hrs at a time, and still have a B*tch of a headache, but other than that, all's good I guess. Whine... whine... complain... complain... LOL!

I did try your rock thing though. It feels awesome... but didn't help with the sleep much. :(

I'm watching Rachael Ray, and getting verrryyyy hungry!

Ohhhh, nice that you tried it...
Sorry it didn't help with sleep... I will get with my "medicine doctor" after we get the braces off Grady... hugs and love. I wish for you to SLEEP! BAM! now go lie down and instantly fall asleep...

You are my fave Genie! :D

Good luck to Grady with getting his braces off! I remember that day... it was soooo nice to get them off!

(oops... Batman is good at his job too... lol)

Oh well, tell me that after I find you something that actually helps! ;)

Thanks... ;)

Afternoon all

Afternoon!

How's it going starty?

Oh fine... I know, how can I be fine when I am in the middle of cleaning up the SECOND accident by my big ole black lab today... I just am, he is worth the bad stuff... eeeewwww
Poor dog..
Grady got his braces off and he is amazingly just like he was before we took them off. Just no braces, I don't know what I was expecting... LMAO
How goes it for you Biggie

Eh...

Just got out of my only class for the day which is good. Going to make a grilled chicken salad for lunch and head to the gym in a bit. I have an assignment due by midnight tonight for a class I don't have the book for. The bookstore is sold out. I guess I'm SOL.

Sometimes I can't wait for May ;)

Can't you get a used one Biggie? Or get together and share and split the cost with someone? HUH HUH can't you?

They don't have any used or new ones in the bookstore.

I'll have to order one online, but it will take a while to come in. Its an online class so I don't know any of the people in the class and I just emailed the professor asking her if she has any. I wanted to send an email out to the class asking to borrow one for the day so I can do the assignment until the one I ordered comes in, but there doesn't appear to be a way to email the whole class online. I asked the professor how to do that also...

I think I've done about all I can do...

Wow.. she responded fast..

She said that she believes the library has a reference copy of the book. I'll have to go check that out a little later on :)

Woo Hoo... great job Biggie!

*Yawn*.. Anyone on?

I've been waisting my time Thinking of Senior Prank ideas.. I need a break

What's up guy?

Just got back from the library... blah

Hi Biggie! The library... oh joy! Lol

Guy, I've been meaning to ask you... how is your friend doing? Have you talked to him lately?

Yeah, it was tons of fun. At least I'm done for the night now... I can enjoy what's left of it ;)

Yes enjoy your eve! It's been pretty quiet around here tonight. It's a nice night here though... no wind or rain for once. Still have this damn headache though. I think I'm going to order in some chinese, and just chill.

Marta just made me a great home cooked meal; fried and breaded liver, mashed potatoes with gravy, fresh whole corn, iced tea and a kolachi (sp?)for desert... she understands me...

Starby: Chinese sounds good - too bad I already ate :)

Stringer: Never had liver... I'd be a bit afraid to try it hehe

Jeff?

Great! He actually smiled in a pic today =D
Is sneezy on? I need help with Algebra II

Sorry Sheriff. I'm just not a fan of liver. I've had many people tell me that... if you just try my liver the way I make it, you'll LOVE it! Uhmmm, nope... still liver no matter what the recipe is! ;) But I'm sure if you like it, Marta makes it great! I have no idea what kolachi is!! Whatever it is, I'm glad you loved it all... she takes good care of you!

Hey guy.

I'm here.

JUST... got back from work

Mkay whew... Just go with me with [ Being an absolute value sign

Basicially... Its taking an AV equation and turning it into a graph

the equation is y=2[x-1]-3 with taking [x-1]-3 and turning that into a point which would be the vertex in this case it would be 1,-3 because u divide 1 into 1x to get the x point and the -3 for your Y. Not that's all n easy but do I do with the 2 in front of the [

If your confused I'll rewrite the question. I'm kind of rushed atm

Guy...

With absolute value, if there is a coefficient on the absolute value signs it just changes the steepness of the graph, or the slope of the lines...

so 2[x-1] would have a slope of 2. 1/2[x-1] would have a slope of 1/2.

Got it?

REally?


Is that all? Are you positive?

I think I sort of understand what you're saying.

putting this in vertex form... let's just make (x - 1)... into a t

t = |x - 1|

so now, you have y = 2t - 3

this way, you have the vertex form.

so yes, you're right that 1, -3 is the vertex... and can be easily checked by actually plugging in a few numbers (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3) for x.

Its been a few years, but I'm 95% sure that's all there is to it...

And if you use Sneezys method of plugging numbers in, you can take two of the points you get, check the slope, and it comes out to 2... for the record :)

IE: x = -2; y=-9
x = -1; y=-7

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (-7)-(-9) / (-1)-(-2)
= -7 + 9 / -1 + 2
= 2 / 1

So yeah, I'm sure :)

Hm... I get it but not really.. Because I'm talking to you but I'm also talking to a friend who's in my class

Matthew says:
just go up 2 spaces
Matthew says:
and across 1
Eddie says:
what about 2 in front?
Matthew says:
It's the slope of the line
Matthew says:
apprently
Eddie says:
slope's 1.
Eddie says:
which is by the x.
Matthew says:
are you sure?
Matthew says:
not always
Eddie says:
I don't know

.. I'm getting 2 different answerse from 2 asains xD
I'll just ask my teacher tomorrow

Hey how is everyone

Matthew agrees with me :)

Actually, so does sneezy, he just didn't say it...

Slope of the line is 2 (like biggie said)...

I... I... with a two two two... 3 4 5... hungry... hungry... are you?. I couldn't stand it... down here mother... we're all home now! (George Carlin)

What the..? Was that in English? :rolleyes:

Lol I feel left out what are we talking about.

Math homework :eek: Haha...

How are you?

My Aglebra II HW

I am good how about you and what is the problem
