Education & Reference - 22 February 2007

i have to present a persuasive essay in english class and i will be graded on HOW i present, not on the content. i absolutely hate public speaking, or speaking in front of large groups of people in general. im a quite person and i dont know how to raise my voice without having it sound like im screaming. and i start stuttering and get extremely nervous over the stupidest reasons. I have no idea how im going to present a speech in front of my whole class, let alone persuade them to do anything. nd my teacher scares the hell out of me. she will criticizes every thing you do. i need tips, help anything on how to get through being a good persuasive speaker without embarassing myself.

I know how to find possible rational zeros p/q and also how to find out if they work as zeros.

But how do you find irrational zeros?

Ex. x^3 + 2x^2 - 4x + 1
rational zeros @ 1

If we apply for private student loans, do we have to document every little expense and then send it back to them to verify it?

I've contacted a number of places already and they just say "can be used for school related expenses" but not answering my question. Need it as clear as possible

Thanks for answering

So many of the students at my highschool refuse to stand for the pledge God forbid they even say it. They can't even take a few seconds out for a moment of silence. Where will our country be in twenty years? With the lack of patriotism, our country is in great danger of being taken over from within. What our founding fathers and great leaders of the past would think of our people today. It is only a few words and a few seconds of silence. Many can stay silent when the pledge is being said why can't they do it when it is not? I just heard the national anthem sung by a young girl. She did not have any heart behind her but instead seemed to be showboating trying to impress with her ability to sing. Not the time and place, take it to American Idol.... Your thoughts?
