advice

Hello this is my math test from college:

http://www.docdroid.net/3kyzR92/test-copy-1.doc.html

Whats the problem?
I am in college now and dont know anything about this, where to start learning? What videos to watch on youtube to be able to solve this?

I only know some algebra basics ... but this is all new to me.

I AM NOT ASKING how to solve this just an advice or maybe links, videos, materials where I could understand the process of solving this (directions).

All those exams and classes that I skipped/cheated on in high school are hitting me back like a boomerang

Thank you very much for your time.

I am surprised that you are realizing now that "this is all new to me" when it is almost end of the semester (3/4 gone!) .

This sounds like a pre-calculus class. Pre-requisite for this class is generally Algebra II.

There is no-way I could direct you without knowing the depth of your "newness".

My advice would be take developmental Math class at the nearest community college.

I would strongly advice against taking on-line class for the remedial class!

Amen. & Amen, Amen.

In addition, there wonderful resources for home-schooling. If one must do this online, then look into those sites.

Thank you for your advice.

I am coming from a south-eastern Europe country so it is only the beginning of the semester ( first semster starts in october , ends in february ), so I dont think its too late.

The tasks are written in my "native" language so it is a bit hard to translate it.

So generally I remembered that I know some of the "basics" like : function, logs, domain of a function ... But I struggle with : finding an inverse of a function and partial fraction decomposition but I will manage somehow to learn it from the online materials I have found.

Anyway my problem is that I have never learn math constantly. Usually when the test day approaches I just go to crazy "24 hours no sleep" mode and try to figure it all out and hope to get 50% , and of course after the test I forget everything.

I don't know how math is taught in USA or Canada but in my place it's like : you learn 2+2 in the class, for homework you get: (x^3-2x^2+3x-6=0) and finally later in the test you get something like the tasks I showed you in the first post, so either you pay for tuition or you struggle with the internet translating and finding similar tasks in English.

Do you perhaps mean that you're living in Europe, where schedules are different?

Either way, the college should have given you a placement test. This would have measured your current knowledge and then placed you in a class where you weren't lost and struggling the whole time. You may want to have a serious talk with your academic advisor about more appropriate course placement. Good luck!
