Okay, so.... ahh, my battery's dying!!
Since I forgot my notebook to refer back to and my laptop's failing, I think I'm going to type up some tips that I learned last week and this week... =]

1. When taking the left hand, right hand, and regular limits of a graph, they've got to match up in order for it to exist.
2. When they are asking for a limit of a point on a graph, usually they're looking for the open circle... I think? I'm still shaky...can someone clarify AGAIN...I've been told a thousand times...
3. Never. Ever. Ever. Ever. Take the derivative of a graph. The steps that she went through with us...yea...those were amazing, I actually half-way understood that! I think I just need more practice with that way instead of taking the derivative of the graph :)
4. Multiple choice is my best friend.
5. This blog helped a lot more than I ever thought possible. All of those steps written out in English, not math terms like x and y and example problems and whatnot, were so much easier to understand! I sat here for a while going back through most of these blogs, writing down which explanation worked best and was the simplest and easiest to understand.


Oh, I want to figure out the probability that the Saints will lose the Super Bowl...which formula do I use for that? nCr or nPr? And how do I work those..i don't remember...that was also on the ACT, but I think I got it wrong because no formula = no answer. -.-
