Hyperactivity comes from an excess amount of energy. Put that energy to good use by exercising. You don't need to go to the gym. Make exercise a part of your everyday routine. Join a gym. Get out and run in your neighborhood. Or even just incorporate walks into your daily routine. If you live close enough to work, try walking instead of driving. If you take the necessary steps to burn excess energy on a regular basis, you won't have to worry about bouts of hyperactivity. If you feel yourself getting hyper before a big meeting, try running in place for a minute long enough to use up some energy, but not long enough to look sweaty. Watch less TV. Most of the time, hyperactivity can be the result of too much downtime. Sitting and watching TV for extended periods of time means that your body is not burning very much energy. If you find that you feel hyper after watching TV, try reducing the time you watch or watch TV is short bursts rather than long stretches of time. Most often fidgeting appears as a sign of hyperactivity, but it is actually just the body trying to burn off excess energy. Since fidgeting is often involuntary, try to find a voluntary and fun way of fidgeting. Many people like to drum with their hands and feet. Try repeating small, nearly unnoticeable movements at home or at work, when you are feeling hyper. Whether you are and adult or a child, strategic "fidgeting" is a great way to burn energy. There are many hobbies that you might try. Play sports. Learn any dance that requires you to move a lot. Alternatively, you might learn a craft or a trade. Work with wood, brick, or some other building material that requires you to lift heavy materials. They key is to burn energy. If you learn something or are left with a product afterwards, you'll be more likely to stick with it. You can burn off excess energy with your brain too. Try activities that strain your brain like puzzles. Plan out your weekend in great detail. Focus on complex problems. Know that sometimes hyperactivity is just a sign of boredom.

Summary: Get active and exercise. Fidget. Take up hobbies that require movement. Exercise your brain.

If you've got two radicals in your equation, don't panic. The basics of solving radical equations are still the same. You want to get the variables by themselves, remove the radicals one at a time, solve the leftover equation, and check all known solutions. For this example, solve the radical equation 2x5x1=1{\displaystyle {\sqrt {2x-5}}-{\sqrt {x-1}}=1} You frequently end up with quadratic equations when working with radicals. Review how to solve them if you are unsure. Get one of the variables alone, like you would normally. Ignore the other for now. For the example, simply add x1{\displaystyle {\sqrt {x-1}}} to each side: Original Problem: 2x5x1=1{\displaystyle {\sqrt {2x-5}}-{\sqrt {x-1}}=1} Isolate one radical: 2x5x1+x1=1+x1{\displaystyle {\sqrt {2x-5}}-{\sqrt {x-1}}+{\sqrt {x-1}}=1+{\sqrt {x-1}}} 2x5=1+x1{\displaystyle {\sqrt {2x-5}}=1+{\sqrt {x-1}}} Again, there is nothing here that you haven't done with simpler equations. Square both sides to remove the radical on the left. Isolated radical: 2x5=1+x1{\displaystyle {\sqrt {2x-5}}=1+{\sqrt {x-1}}} Square both sides: (2x5)2=(1+x1)2{\displaystyle ({\sqrt {2x-5}})^{2}=(1+{\sqrt {x-1}})^{2}} Expand: 2x5=1+2x1+(x1){\displaystyle 2x-5=1+2{\sqrt {x-1}}+(x-1)} Simplify: 2x5=2x1+x{\displaystyle 2x-5=2{\sqrt {x-1}}+x} You've got one of your radical signs gone -- it is time to get rid of the second. Just go through the same motions as the first time, isolating the side with the radical. Simplified equation: 2x5=2x1+x{\displaystyle 2x-5=2{\sqrt {x-1}}+x} Isolate radical: 2x5x=2x1+xx{\displaystyle 2x-5-x=2{\sqrt {x-1}}+x-x} x52=2x12{\displaystyle {
rac {x-5}{2}}={
rac {2{\sqrt {x-1}}}{2}}} x52=x1{\displaystyle {
rac {x-5}{2}}={\sqrt {x-1}}} Again, you can do this with any root -- if you have a cube root, you would cube both sides, if it is the 4th root, you'd raise both sides to the 4th power, etc. Your goal is simply to undo the radical. Isolated Final Radical:x52=x1{\displaystyle {
rac {x-5}{2}}={\sqrt {x-1}}} Square both sides: (x52)2=(x1)2{\displaystyle ({
rac {x-5}{2}})^{2}=({\sqrt {x-1}})^{2}} Expand both sides: (x210x+25)4=x1{\displaystyle {
rac {(x^{2}-10x+25)}{4}}=x-1} Simplify: x210x+25=4x1{\displaystyle x^{2}-10x+25=4x-1} Theoretically, you could keep doing this no matter how many radicals you have, though you can see how complicated things would quickly get. Once you've got both radicals gone, it is time to use your algebra skills solve for x. In this example, x210x+25=4x4{\displaystyle x^{2}-10x+25=4x-4}, you'll need to use the quadratic equation. You could also graph both sides of the equation and see where they meet. Using the quadratic equation, you only get two possible answers: 2.53 and 11.47. Remember, not all answers you find are going to be correct. You need to plug them back in to check them. If an answer isn't part of the solution you can feel free to toss it out, though some teachers want you to show that you found and discarded the answer in your work. Check 2.53: 2(2.53)5(2.53)1=1{\displaystyle {\sqrt {2(2.53)-5}}-{\sqrt {(2.53)-1}}=1} Answer does not check out, x=2.53{\displaystyle x=2.53} is not a solution. Check 11.74: 2x5x1=1{\displaystyle {\sqrt {2x-5}}-{\sqrt {x-1}}=1} Answer checks out, x=11.74{\displaystyle x=11.74} is a solution. The final answer to the problem 2x5x1=1{\displaystyle {\sqrt {2x-5}}-{\sqrt {x-1}}=1} is 11.74.
Summary: Use the isolation strategy, with just a few new tricks, to solve complicated radical equations. Isolate one of the variables under the radical. Square both sides of the equation. Isolate the other square root. Square both sides. Solve for "x" once all the radicals are gone. Check all possible solutions to get the right answer.
