article: A quadratic equation means that you have at least one variable that is squared. It will typically be written in the formula y=ax(squared)+bx+c.  Graphing a quadratic equation will give you a parabola, which is a ‘U’ shaped curve. You will need to find at least three point to graph it, beginning with the vertex which is the centermost point. If we use the example y=x(squared)+2x+1, then a=1, b=2, and c=1. Each letter corresponds to the number directly before the variable it sits next to in the equation. If there is no number before ‘x’ in the equation, then the variable is equal to ‘1’ because it is assumed that there is 1x. To find the vertex, the point in the middle of the parabola, use the formula -b/2a. In our example, this equation would change to -2/2(1), which equals to -1. You now know the vertex, -1, which is a point on the x-axis. However, this is only one point of the vertex coordinate. To find the corresponding y-coordinate as well as two other points on your parabola, you will need to make a table. Place the x-coordinate for the vertex in the top center column. Choose two more x-coordinates an equal number in each direction (positive and negative) from the vertex point. For example, we could go up two and down two, making the two numbers we fill in the other blank table spaces ‘-3’ and ‘1’. You can choose any numbers you want to fill in the top row of the table, as long as they are whole numbers and the same distance from the vertex. If you want to have a clearer graph, you can find five coordinates instead of three. Doing this is the same process as above, but give your table five columns instead of three. One at a time, take the numbers you have selected to represent the x-coordinates from your table and insert them into the original equation. Solve for ‘y’.  Following our example, we could use our chosen coordinate of ‘-3’ to substitute into the original formula of y=x(squared)+2x+1. This would change to y= -3(squared)+2(3)+1, giving an answer of y=4. Place the new y-coordinate underneath the x-coordinate that you used into your table. Solve for all three (or five, if you want more) coordinates in this fashion. Now that you have at least three complete coordinate pairs, mark them on your graph. Draw a connecting them all into a parabola, and you’re finished!

article: The aerator is a thin layer of metal mesh used to help control the water flow, and is located on the end of the faucet. Turn the aerator counterclockwise to remove it from the end of your faucet. Check the instruction manual for your faucet to see how to remove it from your exact model. Rotate the valve so they’re in line with the supply tubes again. Check if there are any leaks coming out where the supply lines and valves connect. If so, turn the valve off and tighten the nuts with your wrench again. Keep a towel or bucket underneath your valves until you’re sure they don’t leak anymore. Lift or turn the handles on your faucet so the water runs out. Keep the faucet on for a few minutes so any debris or dust inside gets flushed out. If your faucet has 2 handles, turn both of them on to clear out all of the lines. Turn off your faucet and screw the aerator clockwise back into place. Once it’s reattached, you can use your new faucet!

Write an article based on this "Pinpoint your phobia and the negative thoughts associated with it. Try to find something that contradicts your negative thought. Consider the things you could do if your phobia actually comes true. Try to rationalize your thoughts. Put yourself in a fearful friend's situation."
article:
Phobias usually come with three different types of negativity: fortune telling, overgeneralization, and catastrophizing.  And example of (bad) fortune telling is telling yourself that the bridge will collapse when you cross it, the elevator will fall when you get on it, or that you will stutter and freak out when making your speech. Over-generalizing is when you associate everything with one bad experience. For example, you might find yourself worrying that every dog will try to bite you because a certain poodle did that once to you when you were a kid. Catastrophizing is a little bit like bad fortune telling. You take simple events, such as someone coughing, and imagine the worst possible—such as the person having the swine flu, and you contracting it. For example, if you are afraid of dogs, try to remember a time when you encountered a dog, and things did not go badly. Think of all your friends who have dogs, and the nice experiences they've had. You might also try to tell yourself:  That dog has a leash, and the owner is holding tightly onto the leash. The dog is very small. I can easily outrun it if it does try to chase me. The dog is playing with people and other dogs. He is unlikely to be aggressive. For example, if you are afraid of elevators, you might be afraid of the dangers associated with them, such as the doors not opening, or the elevator getting stuck mid-level. Fortunately, there are ways out in these sorts of situations, such as pressing the alarm button, or pressing the call button and asking for help. Having a sort of escape plan might help you when facing your phobia. Ask yourself, is the elevator really going to break down? Does it appear to shake and rattle? Does the dog really appear aggressive? Is it growling, or wagging its tail? Ask yourself if you are fortunetelling, over-generalizing, or catastrophizing. This does not mean that you should abandon a rational fear. If that bridge really does not look safe (it is rotting and molding, there are planks missing, and the ropes or fraying), then yes, it would probably be wise to avoid that bridge. If you are afraid of flying, try talking to yourself as you would to a friend who afraid of flying. What would you say to reassure your friend? You might say any of the following things:  The ratio between successful plane flights and plane accidents is very high. That plane has a very high safety record. There have been no accidents recorded on that type of plane. The pilot and co-pilot are very experienced. Everyone was checked thoroughly before boarding the plane. There is no way someone could have brought on a weapon or a dangerous substance. I've heard of many survivor stories from plane crashes.
