Algebra 2 Problems

Algebra 2 Problems Algebra 2 problems always deal with the problem and the solution of the topics involved in Algebra 2 such as Linear equation, matrices, Quadratic equations, Radical functions etc. Algebra 2 problems are generally for practice purposes, but it also provides relevant hints as well proper solution of the problems. The following examples show the use of linear equation in real world situations. Example 1:- After 5 years, Amir will be 4 times as old as he is now. Find present age. Solution 1:- Assume, Present age of Amir = x After 8 years Amir Age = x + 5 It is clearly given in the problem, After 5 years Amir Age will be 4 times of his present age = 4x Therefore,x + 5 = 4x 5= 4x x 5 = 3x x = 5/3 Hence obtained, the present age of Amir is 5/3. Example 2:- If the student is having $50 in total and he went to shop to buy pen cost of $10. How many pen he can buy. Solution 2:- Given, Student has total money = $50 Individual cost of pen = $10 Now here we have to find no. Pens which he can buy, For this we have to divide the total amount of money by the individual cost of pen. This step is shown below:- Number of pen (worth of $10) he can buy with $50= = Total amount of money/ Individual cost of pen = 50/ 10 = 5 Therefore he can buy 5 pens with $50

How To Spend Your Internship Downtime

How To Spend Your Internship Downtime Image via: buprssa.com The answer to all of those is a big, fat no. (If your internship actually offers those options, feel free to tell us where you’re interning in the comments section. I’m sure tons of readers would LOVE to know.) An internship is just like any other job and should be treated with the same amount of respect. At the same time, like any other job, the most important part is using your time appropriately to best suit the needs of your company and your personal and professional development. Here’s some ways that you can spend your internship downtime wisely. Take Initiative Image via: The Devil Wears Prada Nothing will impress a supervisor more than by showing your ambition and independence. Throw yourself into a task without having to be asked. Do you have something due in a few days that isn’t necessarily “urgent”? Jump on it now! “I always say there is something you could be doing,” said Jessica Morgan, an education student at Florida State. “I am always keeping busy, cutting out stuff for the next day, cleaning up around the room, organizing, et cetera.” Not only will you be beating away several hours of boredom and twiddling your thumbs, but also you could be saving yourself later down the road when you find yourself swamped by other assignments. Just Ask Image via: www.huffingtonpost.com If you’re some sort of magic superhuman entity who has finished a day’s work in half of that time, kudos to you! We’re bowing to you in spirit. But, that doesn’t mean that you’ve been green-lighted to start spamming your Snapchat story. “Ask for something else to do,” suggested University of Central Florida grad Kate Mullen. Odds are, your supervisor is probably very busy and could use your help on something. Even if it’s just running down the street to grab them a much-needed cup of java, your assistance will be far from unrecognized. Simply shoot them an email or stop by their office and ask if there’s anything else that you can do for them. They’ll appreciate your go-getter attitude and your respect for their time and work. Maybe, if you’re lucky, they’ll set you off on your own adventure to do something you’ve never done before. (My personal favorite was being sent around to deliver mail to other departments since some of them would offer me free pizza and cake but that’s another story!) Do Your Homework Image via: www.britishskinfoundation.org.uk If your internship directly applies to the work industry you plan to enter after graduation (which it should!), you can spend your free time exploring your career options and deciding if this is the right full-time job for you. Think about it. If you find yourself getting bored doing the same tasks day by day, there’s a chance this job may not be for you. However, you can take your time to find out what other interns in your position have gone on to do in their future; you’ll be more educated on both your present and future circumstances. At the same time, you could be doing research on things that are beneficial to the company you’re interning with as well. “I intern at an advertising company and on my downtime, I usually do research on marketing trends and stuff that will be useful to the agency,” said Florida State student Brielle Olorunda. By doing this, you won’t only be passing your free time in an interesting and productive way. Your supervisor will be impressed by your initiative and dedicated interest in the company’s work. “Our best interns are the ones whove known our product deeply and been able to offer ideas for it that we would never have thought of,” said Quizlet founder Andrew Sutherland. Although it may seem like interns are simply tiny cogs in a much greater machine, every moment spent working is important. For this reason, spending each moment wisely is absolutely imperative to your internship experience. Take Quizlet for an example. Interns have had a huge impact from the beginning at Quizlet. Our iOS app was first built and launched by a high school intern,” said Sutherland. Every moment you spend as an intern for a company has a greater impact than you may realize today. Make every second great and accomplish some amazing things! Snapchat can wait.

HOW TO LEARN ANY LANGUAGE ANYWHERE

HOW TO LEARN ANY LANGUAGE ANYWHERE We discovered this post on Backpacking Brunette, its a great blog written  by Alex who is living her post-college life exploring new cities, experiencing new cultures and meeting new people.  In this particular blog post, she shares how she has been learning Spanish and how she uses italki to help her reach her language learning goals.  When we read it, we wanted to share this with the entire italki community as its full of great tips and suggestions on how to get the most out of italki.  Reposted with permission from Alex.  Original post here. One of the reasons I decided to au pair in Spain is because I’ve always had an interest in learning Spanish. I completed four years of Spanish classes in high school, but unfortunately, I did not continue my language studies in college. I could kick myself for that now. In preparation of living in a village where the majority of people do not speak any English, I brushed up on my Spanish with the help of a website called italki. You can learn absolutely anything nowadays without even leaving the comfort of your home thanks to the internet. It’s amazing. My boyfriend, Taylor, discovered the wonders of italki when he was searching for native speakers to practice his Spanish with (unlike me, he actually stuck with it in college). He also used the site to learn some Italian before we went to Europe! So, what exactly is italki? According to its website, italki’s mission is to make human connections between language learners and language teachers. It believes anyone anywhere in the world can become fluent in a foreign language. Using technology, italki is revolutionizing the way people learn foreign languages. For example, this platform provides a way for someone interested in learning Spanish (me) to connect with a professional Spanish tutor. My tutor, Rocio, lives in Madrid and has a master’s degree in teaching Spanish as a second language. From mid-July until my departure, we Skyped twice a week for hour-long lessons. Each lesson costs approximately 120 â€" 140 italki credits (ITC) which is equivalent to 12 â€" 14 USD. Now, that’s super reasonable considering most private language tutors charge upwards of $20 an hour. You purchase ITC prior to scheduling sessions with a tutor. After the completion of the lesson, you receive an email asking you to confirm the lesson took place. Once you do, the tutor receives his or her payment through italki. It’s that simple! Worried about not knowing what you’re paying for when you sign-up for a session? italki gives you three trial-sessions at a majorly discounted rate (50 ITC or 5 USD). It allows you to try different tutors out to see if their teaching style is a match for your learning style. In addition to connecting language students with professional tutors, italki also offers informal tutoring. Informal tutors are individuals who don’t have a teaching degree but have a background that allows them to help you learn a language. For example, some informal tutors are interpreters or translators. I’ve never had a lesson with an informal tutor, but I think it might be a good option for people on a budget. Most lessons with an informal tutor are significantly cheaper than lessons with a professional tutor. It varies from tutor to tutor, but I’ve seen rates as low as six ITC or six USD an hour. Remember though, the person you’re paying isn’t a professional! One of the coolest things about italki, in my opinion, is the language partners community. After you set up a profile, you can start chatting with native speakers in whatever language you’re studying. These conversations might start within italki messenger but later migrate to email, Skype, Facebook, Viber or What’s App. Every conversation is generally a 50/50 exchange. For example, for the first part of the chat with my language partner, we would speak in Spanish (the language I’m studying). Then, for the second part of the chat, we would speak in English (the language my partner is studying). Oh, and did I mention finding and chatting with language partners is absolutely free? How cool is that?! Taylor has a lot of experiencing using the language partners part of italki. Not only has he improved his Spanish, but he’s also met some really cool people. In fact, when we were in Europe this summer, we traveled to Jaen, a city in the south of Spain, to visit his friend Daniel, whom he’d met through italki. We ended up staying with Daniel and his girlfriend for three days in his family’s summer cottage. They showed us around their city, cooked us traditional Andalusian foods and provided us with a comfortable room to stay in free of charge. Staying with locals (and more importantly, friends) really made our time in Andalusia special. If it weren’t for italki, Taylor would have never met Daniel, and we might have never had the opportunity to experience the Andalusian culture so intimately. According to italki, the global community has over a million language learners. You can learn anything from Spanish, French or Italian to Mandarin Chinese, Arabic and Hindi. If you want to learn a language, chances are there is someone on italki who can teach you. So, what are you waiting for? Check out italki today! What language are you interested in learning? Would you consider finding a professional tutor on italki, or would you rather meet with a tutor in-person?

Staying connected with loved ones back home while teaching overseas

Staying connected with loved ones back home while teaching overseas For many teachers, a big consideration when heading overseas to teach for any length of time is how far they will be from their friends and family back home. We understand that it’s easy to feel divided when the people that used to make your day-to-day more fun and familiar are half a world away, but we’ve compiled some tips from current and past international teachers to help mitigate how much you miss your loved ones while teaching in another country. Maintaining good, healthy relationships with the people that you love back home will, in large part, dictate how successful your overseas move is. If you feel lonely and distant, it will be difficult for you to want to connect with locals and other expats in your new country. So use these tips to keep current with your family and friends! Be patient with yourself as you adjust to your new life teaching overseas. It will take some time for you to get into a good rhythm of regular communication with loved ones back home. There’s a lot to consider: time zones, work schedules, and making enough time to get out and experience some local culture too. Let your family and friends know back home that for the first little while, you’ll be adjusting to a reasonable schedule and sorting out a regular communication schedule will take some work. You’ll eventually get into a rhythm that suits you. Schedule time to see each other’s faces. Exchanging emails and providing your loved ones with the URL to your blog are both great things, but they shouldn’t replace the important face-to-face time that is very possible now thanks to Skype, FaceTime, Google hangouts, and Facebook video chats. Even the good old-fashioned telephone is better! Just remember that actual human connection is really valuable and taking the time to hear the other’s voice will go a long way. Understand that you’ll likely have to do a lot of the heavy lifting. Your family and friends back home know that you’ve gone to teach abroad for a new adventure. Some will want to give you some space so that you can reach out when you’re available, and others just won’t be good at keeping in touch with distant friends. This means that you’ll have to do much of the reaching out when you’re interested in speaking with your family and friends back home. Don’t let this get to you! If you can, visit. Or let them visit. Like we stated above, face time is critical to keeping your relationship strong. Many international teaching contracts will offer you two round-trip tickets over the course of your contract, so make sure you use them! Go back for a visit whenever you can find the time, or invite your friends and family to visit you and experience some of your life. Being able to show them around your new city and introduce them to your new friends is such a great feeling, and it also gives them a little more insight into your day-to-day when you Skype them back home! Do you have any tips for keeping in touch with family and friends while you’re teaching overseas? Have you received any great advice? If so, share with other teachers in the comments below!
