Sophia Fun is almost over

I'm on Unit 5 of College Algebra and I feel like it's taken me 40 years to get here. Finally the last unit! I plan on finishing on Tuesday. I also struggle with math and found this course to include far more than a college algebra course on campus does. I took it years ago at college, but it was too old to transfer in so I had to retake it. There's material I covered in Precalc and my husband says some of the challenges are Calc I. Yay....so exciting....not. Math is not my friend. The graphs make me nuts. I struggle with them something fierce. If it needs shading, there's a 95% chance I will have it shaded incorrectly. At least I'm consistent!

It's a bit late, but I suggest you install the Desmos graphing calculator app. It lets you enter formulas and then you can see which shading/graphs are correct. I also had issues with choosing the correct shading but the Desmos app made things better. I think they also have a website if you don't want to install an app but entering formulas on a computer keyboard might be more challenging.

Thank you! I will check this out today. I know there will be graphs with shading on the final milestone. They've been on every milestone thus far so I can't imagine them being left off at the end.

This is why I'm thanking CSMLearn too. Not being able to pass College Algebra is a main reason I never finished my degree. The CSM Course was rigorous, and I cried more than once, but it satisfied the gen ed math requirement.

I'm sorry you've struggled with the math so much. I feel your pain about crying over math. Years ago I took a spreadsheet course on Lotus 1-2-3. Yup this was about 450 million years ago. LOL I was soooo frustrated that I ripped my textbook in half one night. It was a paperback book, but still I tore it in half. I had no idea I had that kind of strength. LOL
