hi, i have an assignment of math to be done in microsoft equation editor, but i don't know how to use this program, do u know how or a site that can teach me, because i have looked in many sites but it doesnt really show me much. i would appresiate any help on this. thank you
Equation editor is part of MS Word.
First launch Word.
Open your document or select new document.
On the standard toolbar select Insert.
A menu should drop down, select Object...
A dialogue box should appear with the Create New tab selected
Scroll down to Microsoft Equation
Highlight that entry by clicking on it, then click Ok
When you do this a box will appear on the document and a toolbar titled Equation should appear too. Each time you do the steps above a separate equation object will be placed on the document.
There are a whole bunch of selections on that toolbar and you'll probably need to experiment. When you click on each entry on the toolbar a menu should drop down with selections you can use. There are entries for special symbols, fractions, Greek letters, and a whole lot of symbols you probably haven't seen yet. You can still use the keyboard to enter letters and numbers. After you've entered whatever equation you want you can click outside the box and the equation object will be placed on the document.
When you're using the equation editor you can click on the Help button and it will bring up topics to select concerning the eq editor. I'm unaware of any sites on the internet, but I think if you can find a reference manual for Word you should be able to learn how to use the editor fairly easily. I basically learned how to use the eq. editor by trial and error and just with the online help in Word. If you're determined enough I don't think you'll find it too difficult to learn.
I think there is a complete program you can buy as well, but I've found the editor sufficient for my work.

BTW, were you able to solve the amortizaton problem you asked about? I hope we gave the right formula and you were able to solve it.
For the amortization, I had to call a friend the has a realtor and she helped me with the problem. I really couldn't figure it out.
I really wondered about that formula. I don't recall seeing anything like it in any high school texts I've looked at. Typically you wouldn't see anything like that until an intro finance course, at least one that requires college algebra. I couldn't think of any other formula that would be used for the question you asked about either.
I'M VERY BAD IN POLYGON CHAPTER.IT'S SO HARD. CAN I GET SOME ADVANCE AND EXAMPLE
If you have a specific question click the Post a New Question link above, post your question and I'm sure someone will help you.
I'm sorry, I am unable to provide specific examples or advance on the polygon chapter without a specific question. However, I can provide some general information about polygons.
A polygon is a closed figure with straight sides made up of line segments. It can have any number of sides, but a few common polygons include triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons.
To understand polygons better, it's helpful to familiarize yourself with some key concepts:
1. Number of sides: The number of sides in a polygon determines its name. For example, a triangle has three sides, a quadrilateral has four sides, and so on.
2. Interior angles: The interior angles of a polygon are the angles formed inside the polygon. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon can be found using the formula: (n-2) * 180 degrees, where 'n' represents the number of sides.
3. Exterior angles: The exterior angles of a polygon are the angles formed outside the polygon. The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is always 360 degrees.
4. Regular and irregular polygons: A regular polygon has all its sides and angles equal. An irregular polygon has sides and angles of different lengths and measures.
5. Perimeter: The perimeter of a polygon is the total length of its sides. To find the perimeter, you simply add up the lengths of all the sides.
6. Area: The area of a polygon is the measure of the space enclosed by the polygon. The formulas for finding the area of different polygons vary. For example, the area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: 1/2 * base * height.
To gain a better understanding of polygons, I would recommend referring to textbooks or online resources that provide detailed explanations, examples, and practice problems. Some websites that offer lessons and exercises on polygons are Khan Academy, MathisFun, and MathPlanet. These sites provide step-by-step explanations along with interactive quizzes to test your understanding.
Remember, practice is key to mastering any math topic. Try solving different types of polygon problems and gradually increase the level of difficulty. With time and practice, you will become more comfortable and proficient in solving polygon-related questions.
