I hate you ALEKS!!!

[dcan]

I'm going to chime in with a rant on ALEKS College Algebra since this is the best place. x(x+

What the @#$! is up with ALEKS making you to factor out integers in one problem, then in another problem saying you are WRONG for doing it?

I just had a problem that came out like this:

Code:

2x^2 + 2x + 2
---------------
     x(x+2)

Which I swear should simplify to this:

Code:

2(x^2 + x + 1)
---------------
     x(x+2)

But of course its wrong...

/rantover

EDIT: Just happened again. Did several problems in one "question" ("Simplifying a ratio of polynomials: Problem type 1", as above) and it said the above factoring was wrong. Now I move on to the next one ("... Problem type 2") and it says the following numerator MUST be factored the same way I tried to do the one above:

Code:

3 - 3x^2                            
----------------
  x^2 - 4x + 3

Becomes:

Code:

3(1-x^2)
-------------
  (x-1)(x-3)

Oh WTF#!DKHN!RF!!F NLlkjpwjfe2q banghead

(other than this, so far I love it)
