I am an older woman going back to school for my AAS and BA and algebra 1, 2 are the last two classes holding me back. I already failed once and need not do it again. I need help figuring out these problems. I go to school on-line and I love it, up until now. I need help!

The subject Algebra covers a wide range of topics. Could you please tell me what topics are in Algebra 1 and what topics are in Algebra 2 ? For example, quadratic equations, simultaneous equations, surds, indices, etc... Do you have any specific questions ?

1. Imagine you are at a gas station filling your tank with gas. The function C(g) represents the cost C of filling up the gas tank with g gallons. Given the equation
a. What does the number 3.03 represent?

b. Find C(2).

c. Find C(9).

d. For the average motorist, name one value for g that would be inappropriate for this function’s purpose. Explain why you chose that number.

e. If you were to graph C(g), what would be an appropriate domain and range? Explain your reasoning.
can you teach me a way to answer this? Please and thank you.

a. Could you please tell me what the equation represented by the function C(g) is. The number 3.03 may be part of the equation. Without knowing the equation, I may not be able to figure out what the number 3.03 represents.

b. In the equation of the function C(g), substitute the valus '2' in place of the letter 'g' to calculate the value of C(2).

c. In the equation of the function C(g), substitute the valus '9' in place of the letter 'g' to calculate the value of C(9).

d. The answer to this may be specific to the situation in your country.

e. I may not be able to answer this question without knowing the equation.

Attention LADI: I would contact a local college or high school and see if I could talk to someone from the math department. They might know of someone who could tutor or help you through that. There are many people who struggle with algebra, including myself.  And, unfortunately many degrees have that requirement, and sometimes employers who utilize aptitude tests. I hope this is of help, as I can certainly empathize.
