 * The BEST FREE RESOURCE I have seen is [|**http://www.purplemath.com/modules/index.htm**] . This site has excellent worked out examples and great, detailed information about a wide variety of math topics. Check it out!


 * NEED TO HEAR and SEE a LESSON...search for videos and examples by topic on YouTube, YourTeacher.com, Kahn Academy and other sites. I have seen a lot of good, worked out examples on YouTube. Brightstorm.com has short videos for a variety of math topics: [|**http://www.brightstorm.com/math**]


 * SERIOUS STUDENTS SHOULD Form a study group that meets weekly or more often.


 * Algebra 2 students have had mixed results with 1-877-ASK-ROSE – the Rose Hulman help-line. In theory, Rose Hulman students can help with any math problem. It is free and might be worth a shot.

**Chapter 5 - Rational Functions**
In chapter 5 we will begin by studying simplifying radical expressions "n-th roots", simplifying expressions with rational (aka fractions) exponents, and solving radical equations. Then we will simplify, multiply, divide, add, and subtract rational expressions and solve rational equations. By now you should be able to find your own resources. Search for your topics at:
