This document provides instruction on solving quadratic equations by completing the square. It begins by explaining that completing the square allows one to factor a trinomial as the square of a binomial. It then provides examples of completing the square to solve quadratic equations in various forms, including perfect square trinomials and those requiring the addition of (b/2)2. The document demonstrates transforming equations into vertex form by completing the square. Students are assigned practice problems applying these techniques.
Three variable systems of equations can be solved using elimination or substitution similarly to two variable systems. For elimination, equations are paired to eliminate a variable leaving two equations with two unknowns that can then be solved. For substitution, one equation is solved for one variable in terms of others and substituted into remaining equations to create a system that can be solved. An example application involving budgets shirts is worked through to demonstrate solving a three variable system.

This document discusses representing and solving systems of linear equations using matrices. It defines what a matrix is and how to identify matrix elements. A system of equations can be represented by a matrix with each row representing an equation and each column representing a variable, except the last column which holds the constants. To solve the system, the matrix is row reduced into reduced row echelon form through operations like row switching, scalar multiplication, and row addition. The solutions can then be read from the reduced matrix. Graphing calculators can also use the rref function to row reduce a matrix representing a system of equations and directly give the solutions.
Three variable systems of equations can be solved using elimination or substitution similarly to two variable systems. For elimination, equations are paired to eliminate one variable, resulting in two equations with two unknowns that can then be solved.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
