OH MY GOSH...THE SECOND WEEK OF CALCULUS IS OVER WITH...

well...i can honestly say that i just cannot grasp the concept of the whole thing. I understand the derivatives, and velocity, and i'm even getting the hang of it in Mu Alpha Theta. But this week in Calculus, it just didn't click.
So monday, was good, IT WAS A REVIEW DAY!...but then tuesday came [well i wasn't in class because i was absent] and when i got the notes, i was completely lost and couldn't do my homework. I sat down for hours to try and figure it out. I'm totally confused on what to do for arccos and arcsin. I know that i got the examples, but once i get to a problem i just freak out i guess. how would you do sin(arccos t) ????
Wednesday-Friday we reviewed from the beginning and even from Advanced Math and of course we had to use BASIC algebra, which seems soo hard because we never had to do THAT much algebra at once. We reviewed logs and exponets. I understood logs, like to find x when you have log2(1/8) you'll take the 2 and put the x as it's exponet and solve for x when it's set equal to (1/8). It'll give you -3!!
Hopefully I'm doing that right!
Then the determinates come back again when we have y=4 x
_{...it's the ULNA!..ha
And now i'm on this weekends homework and i'm already having trouble. I think it's the "basic" algebra that's killing me. I'M NOT SURE ON EXACTLY HOW TO START the problemS.
Oh and don't forget that we have a test Wednesday!...i'm scared!}
