wow thats a really random title. i was quoting from robin hood alot yesterday. kinda weird. oh well. so right now im doing algebra [it seems im always writing while im doing algebra...] and its confusing! zach called while i was doing it and it was funny. im like "i need a pair of numbers that multiply to equal -8 but also add to equal -9. that means one of them has to be a negative and one has to be a positive and they both have to be factors of 8." but yeah it was pretty funny. im still trying to figure it out. any math geniuses out there? help me out? heres the original problem...

x[fourth power]-8x[squared]-9

yeah sorry i don't know how to do powers on this computer. oh well. i better get back to it. wow my sibs are making alot of noise... wonder what its all about... hi there rachel! ok bye now rachel! random interuptions of my sister... such is the life of a homeschooled highschooler! :)
