As my Freshman year is about to end, I've already been looking into colleges, and what most admissions counselors and my own guidance counselor advised me to, if I can, take the PSAT/SAT to see where I am, even if I know I won't do as well as juniors/seniors. They say it will help me get a feel for the test. I will be able to get a discount on the fee. What do you guys think?

I just need to factorize the problem. I can factorize say 2(a+b)^2+2(a+b) but when the values in the parantheses are different I just freeze up.

Thanks in advance.

So an example of what I am talking about would be:

X^2 - 6X + 9 = 0

(X-3)^2 = 0

X =3

But what happens when the "A" in ax^2 is more than 1?

Such as in:

3x^2 - 14x - 5 = 0

I'm stumped and I can't find it on the internet!

Well I really want to be a SEAL, but I have a setback. I'm doing well physically and mentally, but I'm afraid the Navy won't even take me. I have eczema on my inner elbow and behind my knee. It is not noticeable in a long-sleeved uniform and it is almost gone. Will there be any chance of me getting a waiver?

My mom has been diagnosed, and she went to see a doctor, who referred her to a specialist. She asked about a liver transplant and the doctor says shes not into that stage where she needs one yet. I believe the cause of her cirrhosis is fatty liver disease, and please help! How long can she live?

My mom was recently diagnosed with Cirrhosis today, and since I've already lost my Dad, I don't want to lose my mom so soon as well. I am only 13 and wish for her to see my graduation and life, and I was wondering how she could be saved?

I read alot of answers from Baa Baa, if you read this, please respond, you have been through this and would know.

Shes going to see the doctor for a biopsy soon to find out what caused it. She has never drank, smoked or been obese so I don't know why its being caused. Hepititis C was also never affected her.

I'm planning to enlist when I'm 18, I'm 16 now, and my family will 100% discourage me from joining the Navy, and therefore, i plan on telling the day I turn 18. Is this a good idea or not?

A ton of Anti-Semitic answerers have been an ongoing problem for the website, and especially the History section where each week is a new wave of people copy and pasting stuff about Jews taking over American's rights. I believe Yahoo! needs to make an effort to remove these spammers, and I'd like to know how I can personally stop one. They are becoming obnoxious with their posts and any answers would be greatly appreciated.

I'm planning on joining the Navy as soon as I'm done with High School, but I'm worried. So far, I'm 5'5'' and I weigh ~100 points and can run 1 mile in 9:42 and being extremely tired. They require someone 18 years old to run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes and I'm sure I can do that, even if it will take work. What I'm more worried about is the situps and pushups. I can do 25 situps and then my abdomen will become painful and sore, so I would like to know how to avoid that and keep going. With pushups I do about 10 and my face turns red and Its like my head is full of blood. Any way to avoid this and do more situps and pushups overall?

I'm planning on joining the Navy in the Nuclear Field to end up on a Carrier, and I've made up my mind. I want to do something for the most powerful naval force in the world, and that is the Navy's Carrier Fleets. I am a good student in school and I wonder, what training do you need, (Boot Camp, 2 years of --School, 5 months of A School, etc) and what are the physical requirements you need to become a U.S Navy Nuke (or ET, MM, or EM)?
