Q: While you may not be able to allow this person to exit your life (say, if it's a co-worker or family member), you can limit your contact. Make yourself less available to this person (via text, phone, email and social media) and communicate that you would rather not spend all your time "plugged in." Say "I have just a few minutes before I need to go", and politely disengage when time is up. Politely decline any time you don't want to spend with this person. Don't lie or make up excuses, but do communicate your position by saying "I'm unavailable" or "I'm not interested in that activity." If this person texts or calls you incessantly, let her or him know that it's too much contact. Gently tell this person you don't like to communicate at all times and would like more space. This person may go to you to fix his or her problems, or always seem to have some sort of crisis. If you don't want to take this on, don't. If you hate getting caught up in gossip or "woe is me" stories, communicate this need tactfully. Especially if you give advice and this person tends to go against it, let it go. Allow the person to make his or her own decisions without you being a factor. Say, "I don't want to have this role in your life." Avoid offering solutions. Instead, offer words of empowerment, such as, "I'm sure you'll be able to work this out on your own." If asked, "Why don't we hang out anymore?", don't lie. There's no use creating a lie that you will have to keep up, and it is more respectful to the person and to yourself to remain in honesty. You may feel like you are protecting yourself or the other person, but ask yourself whether there is any real benefit from lying. However, there's no need to tell the person all the things you perceive as negative. Instead, put the focus on your own needs. Say, "Sometimes I have difficulty being involved in the drama of other people's lives when I have so much of my own already." You can also say, "It can feel really draining to be so closely involved with other people that I often need an emotional and physical break." You may choose to avoid this person, not respond immediately to texts or phone calls, or slowly cut this person out of your life. Whatever you do, do so in a way that you would want to be treated if you were on the other end. There's no need to be mean, catty, or vicious in your approach. You make these actions because you want to reclaim your life, not because you want to stir up drama or make someone feel bad. While your decisions remain yours alone, there's no need to tell other people about your decision to cut this person out of your life by gossiping. Don't "ghost", or suddenly cut all contact without explanation. Many people find this confusing and disrespectful. You may want to tell this person that you need some space and that you will be taking a step away from your phone or e-mail. Find a happy medium where you feel respected and the other person also feels respected and getting his or her needs met. Compromise allows both people to find common ground in a situation. Compromise is especially important when you are dealing with a person that plays a major role in your life such as a romantic partner or family member. Communicate your needs clearly, and allow the other person to communicate needs clearly. Once you both reach a place of understanding, create compromises that can benefit both of you. Perhaps you don't like speaking on the phone, but it means a lot to your grandmother. You may compromise from daily phone calls to twice a week.
A: Limit your contact. Avoid getting pulled in. Be honest. Be nice. Compromise.

Q: x = -b (b2 - 4ac)---------------------2a We obtain the expression:x = -4 (42 - 411) / 2 You should get two x values. As shown above, we obtain two answers: x = -2 + (3) or x = -2 - (3) Plug the x values you obtained into two polynomial expressions as the constants. These will be your factors. If we call our two answers h and k, we're writing two factors like so:(x - h)(x - k) In this case, our final answer is:(x - (-2 + (3))(x - (-2 - (3)) = (x + 2 - (3))(x + 2 + (3))
A:
Plug the corresponding values into the quadratic formula: Solve for x. Use your value for x to figure out the factors.
