Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Occupy your time. Don't try too hard. Wait with other people. Break up a long wait.

Answer: One of the best ways to avoid become anxious during a long wait, is to do something else at the same time to occupy you. One of the most frustrating aspects of waiting can be the sense that you are losing valuable time, so you can tackle this by filling this time with another activity to help the time pass more quickly. This won't always be practical, depending on the situation, but here are some examples to keep in mind:  If you are being kept on-hold on the phone, use the time to answer some emails. If you are waiting for an appointment, read a book or newspaper, or play a game on your phone. If you are stuck in traffic, don't sit there and stew, put on some music, an audiobook, or a language tape and try to make the most of it. Finding ways to distract yourself is a tried and tested way of keeping impatience at bay and helping time pass. Research has suggested, however, that this technique can backfire if you are trying very hard to consciously distract yourself from the wait. Trying to force yourself not to feel anxious can prompt even greater anxiety.  Accept that you will have to wait and there is nothing you can do about it. Take a minute to relax before you find something that will occupy you for a while. There is evidence which suggests that waiting for something with other people can help the time pass quicker. For this to work, it's important that the people are engaging with each other, talking about what they are waiting for and sharing their excitement in a positive way. For example, a group of fans waiting to get a newly released video game might have a fun time in the queue together.  Being stuck in a long silent queue will not work in the same way. Equally, being stuck in a waiting room with people who are angry and impatient will not make the time go faster. Look for a more positive engagement with other people. If you have a very long wait for something, it can help to break it up into smaller chunks. Identifying short term goals and focussing on achieving these rather than the final end goal can help you to avoid becoming impatient. Setting small goals that you can achieve can help you to feel like you are taking control of your life, while also distracting you from the long wait that you cannot do anything to shorten.  For example, if you are growing impatient to find out whether or not you have been accepted to your first choice college, you can give yourself small goals to reach each week in the meantime. This could be anything from learning 20 new words in a foreign language to mastering a new card trick.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Plan a bathroom and kitchen for the basement apartment. Add or remove any walls to optimize the floor plan. Update the finishes and fixtures as necessary.

Answer: If your basement does not already have a bathroom and kitchen, you'll want to plan on adding them. A bathroom is a necessary requirement, and building codes should be kept in mind regarding aspects like head space over the toilet and GFCI electrical outlets. In a very small unit, you could consider adding a kitchenette rather than a full kitchen. To install a kitchen from scratch, you will need to run new plumbing lines, as well as gas lines for a gas stove and ductwork if you want to install a ducted range hood. A basement that was not designed as a separate dwelling may not have a layout that will be attractive to tenants. When planning changes to the layout, consider whether the apartment will be a studio, a 1-bedroom, or a 2-bedroom. Remember that even in a small unit, partitioning off a separate space as a bedroom will usually allow you to command a higher rent. The final step is to consider all the aspects that will make the unit more attractive to tenants than other rental properties. Unless you are trying to command a very high rent, finishes do not have to be top-quality, but they should not be worn and damaged. Painting the walls and installing inexpensive carpet are 2 economical methods for quickly freshening a basement space.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Place a 1 in front of any square root that doesn’t already have a coefficient. Check for square roots with the same radicand. Add the coefficients. Add any unlike radicands to the expression.

Answer: The 1 is always understood, and so is rarely written. However, when adding, writing the 1 can help you keep track of coefficients.  A coefficient is the number in front of the radical sign. For example, write 5{\displaystyle {\sqrt {5}}} as 15{\displaystyle 1{\sqrt {5}}}. You can only add square roots that have the same radicand.  The radicand is the number underneath the radical sign. For example, you can add the first three terms in the expression 25+125+5+7{\displaystyle 2{\sqrt {5}}+12{\sqrt {5}}+{\sqrt {5}}+{\sqrt {7}}}, because they all have the same radicand (5). Only add the coefficients for terms that have the same radicand. Do NOT add the radicands. For example, 25+125+15=155{\displaystyle 2{\sqrt {5}}+12{\sqrt {5}}+1{\sqrt {5}}=15{\sqrt {5}}}. These cannot be simplified any further, and cannot be added to any other terms. The result will be your final, simplified answer. For example, 155+7{\displaystyle 15{\sqrt {5}}+{\sqrt {7}}}.
