Okay, so Jenn said she really missed math class and since she is one of the VERY few who actually read my blog, I'm instituting a "Problem of the Day" feature. Each day will have a problem selected from my actual homework for that day and the answer will be worked out the next day. Leave your guesses in the comment section and we'll see who's right the next day!
Today you all get off REALLY lucky because I thought this would be the hardest problem of the day, but little did I know what unsightly nasties lay in wait for me in HW 12B!!!!! As a result, cuss as you may at this problem, know that it is NOTHING compared to the agony I am currently experiencing in other, more horrid, and much more sordid, problems.
And so, without further adieu, I offer you the Problem of the Day:
Now, of course, I won't know if you use graph paper or not, but to me (one who finds the act of graphing to be QUITE distasteful) it's far easier to find this answer with the non-graphing method.
Best of luck as always, and Bonne Chance!

9/23/08: SOLUTION!!!
Congrats to Jenn and Liam -- Jenn got the right answer and Liam had the right concept -- way to go both of you! :)
Sorry for the lighter marker color -- my black marker pooped out on me last night and I had to go buy more today -- those puppies are expensive! At any rate, they came in a multi-pack of colors, so I'll be rotating colors with problems and solutions to help keep the markers lasting longer.
Look for the next problem coming up tonight! :)

(4,4) == come on - give us SOME credit -- pete didn't even look up the midpoint formula...
:D
FUN STUFF
LOL Yeah, it was way easier than I thought it'd be and then I got to these other problems and thought, "Man, I shoulda posted these others!" Oh well -- a nice warm-up for you! :D
Just out of common sense... I don't know any midpoint formula or anything...
Just don't you just average the x's and average the y's?
Pretty much, yeah. I'll be posting the formula and answer in just a few minutes.
