    a lot of questions for bonus points i just cant get them.
    Help me graduate my 12th grade year I was misplaced into this class and this is the only way of helping me graduate I would greatly appreciate any help given thank you!

    Verify tanx = secx/cscx

    Verify tan(pi - A) = -tanA

    Use synthetic Division to find the remainder of (x^4 - 3x^2 + 2x - 1)/(x - 1)

    cotx + tanx all over sec^2x
    A: cotx
    B: sinx
    C: cosx
    D: tanx

    State the amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical shift for y = 3sin(x/4 + pi/2) - 2

    Given (triangle)ABC and A = 36(degrees), B = 101(degrees), and b = 42. Solve for C, a, and c.

    Solve the following system of equations 2x + 3y = -7 & x - y = 4.

    Solve the following system of equations x - 2y + z = 15 & 2x + 3y - 3z = 1 & 4x + 10y - 5z = -3.

    What is the secant of -180(degrees).

    Does cosx + cosx * tan^2x = secx? True or False.

    Find the value of k so that the remainder of (x^3 - 3x^2 + kx - 6)/(x + 2) = 0.
    A: k = -11
    B: k = 11
    C: k = 6
    D: k = -13

    Given f(x) = 3x^2 + 2x -2 and g(x) = 4x + 1. Find f/g.

    Find the x & y intercepts of the equation y = 2/5x -2.

    No one here will tell you the answers to your homework, that's unethical.

    I've been working on this stuff all night I'm stumped I wasn't supposed to be placed in this class and I have no clue as to how to do any of this stuff :( that's the only reason I resorted to asking. My whole senior year is pretty much riding on a class that they misplaced me in to.

    That's very unfortunate. And I'm sorry. But it still wouldn't be right for us to simply give you the answers. Hopefully someone will come along that can help you to understand the work. Good luck to you.

    Why have you stayed in the class? Haven't you had problems before this??

    Yes, there is usually a period where you can drop or swap a class. Why was this not taken care of at the beginning of this period?

    Ya there is the problem my school neglected the fact that I had failed my first 2 qrtrs because I could not understand how to do lessons involving these subjects I've listed above even with the help of a tutor. Me and my family requested that I be moved to an easier course but the school insisted I was fine. The only reason they are giving me the chance at this extra credit is because if they did not do something like this to help me graduate their butt wouldve been on the line.

    He is the head professor at penn state... he has been extremely busy as of late with his job and his 3 kids and coaching baseball teams and hasn't had the time to help me or I wouldn't be in this predicament.

    Those questions are impossible to explain via the Internet (especially since you seem to be clueless). You need someone at your side showing you how to do them. All we can do is pretty much give you the answers.

    Then fire him and get a new tutor.

    Find another tutor quick! A college kid in the area, or another h.s. student? When is this stuff due?

    Why can't you just find another tutor?

    What will happen if you don't get the answers to the questions that you've posted? You do mention that they're bonus questions.

    How has the rest of your work in that class been?

    Thanks!
