Q: I am learning inequalities in school. What do you do when you graph the not equal sign? And can I have a few examples of Greater than or equal to and Less than or equal too. I am very confused with that thanks a lot !! I rate high

when you graph them (on a coordinate plane) you make your point where the b intercept is and then make the rest of your line dep. on what the slope is then if the inequality is less than or greater than you make a dotted line and if it is a greater/less than or equal to your line is gonna be solid. then just shade either above or below dep. on what the sign is.

if you're graphing on a line graph, just make the point for whatever for your number that x is either less/greater than then if its less than/greater than the circle is going to be open if its less/greater than or equal to the circle is going to be enclosed. then just shade the line in the direction that would be equal to x.

an example of greater than or equal to would be like 0 is greater than or equal to 0, or 4 is less than or equal to 5.

so it could be like x is less than or equal to 5. so on a number line make an enclosed circle at 5 and shade to the left.

hope i helped! if you have any more math questions feel free to ask me!

Q: Hello. I've seen commercials about benzaclin, and also ive seen commercials for differin, both prescriptions for acne. I was just wondering, which ones work better, if i dont want the acne to get worse before it gets better, and i want it to work fast (within maybe a month), and work well, meaning i want my face to be clear and to stay slear. i have about mild to moderate acne, but its just around my chin, lips, nose, and eyebrowns area, better known as the T-Zone. Oh yea, and dont tell me to use proactive, neautrogens, clean n clear 3 days crap, or any of this other acne stuff, unless it works very well because i've tried all of it, the ones ive just listed, and kept a good routine of using the products. i have a whole shelf full of acne products worth well over like 100 dollars, but none of them work! So, to cut it short, differin or benzaclin? And if you could please list why you liked which one. THank you guys so much and il rate you a 5 and leave really awesome feedback...unless youre gonna be stupid. thanks!

benzaclin works reallly well a lot better than differin i think i didn't really notice a difference w/differin

Q: Has anyone tried the prescription "Benzaclin" for acne? I really tried everything, proactiv/clean&clear/netrogena/clearasil/etc, and none of them are working, or worked...ever. Almost all of my pimples leave scars, and i have alot of pimples around my t-zone. It brings my confidence down so much cause makeup doesnt even cover it up, and a lot of people always point to it and laugh at me, i know its mean but it makes me feel horrible. ive gotten a prescription before but all it did was burn the hell out of my face so i just stoppped using it after a couple of weeks/months. If anyone has tried this prescription please let me know, and how it worked. I'll have to order it online with a credit card or something because we dont have insurance. thanks soo much.

Q: Ok my family is very strong believers in Christianity but I believe in Kabbalah (which is very very different). I've never said anything about it b4..I just went along with them and went to church and stuff. Well I guess that because it's never caused a problem before. Now they know that my boyfriend isn't a Christian and they're all like you can't be with him..and see I've been with him as long as I can remember and I love him to death. If I tell them I'm not a Christian I'm really afraid that they'll either ground me forever and treat me like crap or send me to bording school. What should I do? Because I can't go the next two years without my man.

well my family is christian and i'm atheist but they don't know..so i'm in kind of the same situation..i haven't told them yet either because of the same reasons i dont want them to like sign me up for bible study or something..eww. well maybe your bf could like pretend to have like converted or something around your parents and then when yall graduate hs you could tell them neither of you are then they can't really do anything

Q: Why should people become Christains? Like what iss the purpose in it?

there really is no purpose. but i guess its so they look good in society and dont have to deal w/their problems

Q: I am not big AT ALL, I am very little and I am NOT bragging. I am 13 years old and I'm female, guys don't really want to go out with me because I'm so thin. how do I got more meat on my bones faster than a few mounths or weeks?

P.S. I am 65 pounds.

1. work out or lift weights to gain muscle(muscle will make u look bigger but it looks better than fat)
2. eat a lotta red meat like cheeseburgers n stuff and foods high in protein...they have like protein shakes and stuff ppl drink to gain weight like football players and stuff ask one o'them

Q: If i walk 1 mile a day and do about 100 crunches a day, how long till i see or feel a difference?

you probobly never will. crunches dont do anything for you except strengthen your stomach muscles not helpyou lose weight...and walking a mile? come on...i run like 6 a day and i dont really lose weight you have to eat less it doesn't matter how much you exercise

Q: I am looking for a VW Jetta, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Celica, Honda Civic, Ford Mustang but I really would like to know what one would be safest..

well honda civics aren't that safe i've heard my dad say...honda accords are much safer but any honda is gonna be a very dependable car. out of all those i'd go w/the mustang cuz they're the coolest.

Q: This is going to be my first date in my life, so I'm not so good at this right now. We're just going to watch a movie at my house and I don't know of any good movies that we'd probably both like. I want something funny, but a little romantic too. I'd like any suggestions.

Q: I am in love with this guy. We'll call him Zach. And I like this guy. We'll call him Elijah. Zach's in love with this girl. We'll call her Alli. Alli's in love with this guy and is in a lasting relationship with this guy. We'll call him Joe. Okay, now the problem is Alli has no feelings for Zach and she's told him so. Zach is still hanging on because it is so hard for him to let go. But he knows he has to. And he's told me that when he isn't thinking of her he's thinking of me. I am that girl that he will fall back on and I'm okay with that. But while I'm waiting for him to get over her Elijah really likes me. He wants to be the guy to make me smile. And the more time he spends with girls the more he thinks of me. I like him, but I love Zach. Elijah told me that he will wait as long as he has to but he will not wait if it will jeopardize his well-being. I don't want to lose him, but I don't want to lose Zach more. Zach tells me but he would be okay if I went with Elijah. But the problem is that if I get too deep in with Elijah and Zach decides he wants to be with me it will only make it harder to turn Elijah away. What do I do? I will rate all answers.
