Math 108

Remember

• Go slow to go fast.
• Every word is important.
• Read with paper and pencil. Spend the time to work out each example on your own.
• Be patient. It’s not unusual to spend an hour or two on a single page.
• You need to always have a highlighter at the ready or if online have a PDF that you can highlight.
• PEMDAS
• To divide fractions, we invert and multiply. This means that we take the second fraction, flip it upside down, and then multiply the two resulting fractions.

Exponent Rules

• Rule 1:
  xaxb=xa+b$$x^a{x}^b=x^{a+b}$$
  Rule 2:
  (xa)b=xab$$(x^a{)}^b=x^{ab}$$
  Rule 3:
  (xy)a=xaya$$(xy{)}^a=x^a{y}^a$$
  Rule 4:
  x−a=1xa$$x^{-a}=\frac{1}{x^a}$$
• $$\frac{{\mathrm{<i\; style="color:\; black;\; font-family:\; Verdana,\; Arial,\; Helvetica,\; sans-serif;\; font-size:\; 13.12px;\; margin:\; 0px;\; padding:\; 0px;\; text-align:\; left;">A\; growth\; mindset\; isn’t\; just\; about\; effort...</i>}}^{}}{}$$Students need to try new strategies and seek input from others when they’re stuck.

  What are your triggers?

  Watch for a fixed-mindset reaction when you face challenges. Do you feel overly anxious, or does a voice in your head warn you away? Watch for it when you face a setback in your teaching, or when students aren’t listening or learning. Do you feel incompetent or defeated? Do you look for an excuse? Watch to see whether criticism brings out your fixed mindset. Do you become defensive, angry, or crushed instead of interested in learning from the feedback? Watch what happens when you see an educator who’s better than you at something you value. Do you feel envious and threatened, or do you feel eager to learn? Accept those thoughts and feelings and work with and through them. And keep working with and through them.

Jesus Christ And The Everlasting Gospel

This week you will gain a greater understanding of God's great plan for our lives by studying the following truths:

1. God has special witnesses of His Son on earth today.
2. The priesthood channel of prophets and apostles is responsible for revealing the knowledge, purposes, and plans of God necessary for the salvation of His children.
3. The Melchizedek Priesthood holds the key to the knowledge of God.
4. Personal and priesthood revelation is vital in coming to know Christ and His everlasting gospel.
5. The priesthood and personal channels of communication work together to help a person understand the full measure of the stature of Christ.

• What one specific idea in "The Living Christ" stands out to you? What is significant and why?
• When I think of all that Christ did, I know that I can never accomplish the same miracles that He performed with the Lord's help. Nevertheless, we are taught to be Christlike and live as he did. So when in The Living Christ it says Christ healed the sick, caused the blind to see, and raised the dead...I thought, how can little old me do something like that? Realistically, I know that I can help the sick and the weary, and cause those that are blind spiritually to be able to see. I may not be able to raise the dead as Jesus did but I can certainly lift and raise up those that are spiritually dead or struggling. I also like that The Living Christ just casually mentions that Christ's life is essential to all human history.
• How does a person come to know the Lord Jesus Christ?  This question is both easy and difficult. Obviously, by reading the scriptures and going to church you can learn about Christ. But that does not mean that you know Christ. “Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. …" All I know for sure is that we must use both the personal line and the priesthood line in proper balance to even attempt to know Christ.

• The personal line is of paramount importance in personal decisions and in the governance of the family.
• in it's fullness the personal line does not function independent of the priesthood line. It revelation does not come merely by desire or belief.
• the right to the continuous companionship of the spirit comes from partaking worthily of the sacrament.
• The powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.
• because of what he accomplished through his atoning sacrifice, Jesus Christ has the power to prescribe the conditions we must fulfill to qualify for the blessings of his atonement.
• His church is the way and the priesthood is the power.
• those who reject the need for organized religion, reject the work of the Master who organized his church in olden and modern times. Organized religion is essential.
• the priesthood line does not supersede the need for the personal line.
• if we are solely dependent on one leader for our testimony, we will be forever vulnerable to disillusionment by the action of that person. We should not be dependent on a mortal mediator between us and our heavenly father.
• Israelites taught to seek inspiration so they could work out most problems for themselves.
• We must use both the personal line and the priesthood line in proper balance to achieve the growth that is the purpose of mortal life.
• if we rely too much on personal or priesthood line our growth suffers.

D&C 107:

18 The power and authority of the higher, or Melchizedek Priesthood, is to hold the ^akeys of all the spiritual blessings of the church—

19 To have the privilege of receiving the ^amysteries of the kingdom of heaven, to have the ^bheavens opened unto them, to commune with the ^cgeneral assembly and church of the ^dFirstborn, and to enjoy the communion and ^epresence of God the Father, and Jesus the ^fmediator of the new covenant.

20 The ^apower and authority of the lesser, or ^bAaronic Priesthood, is to hold the ^ckeys of the ministering of angels, and to ^dadminister in outward ^eordinances, the letter of the gospel, the baptism of repentance for the ^fremission of sins, agreeable to the covenants and commandments.

30 The decisions of these quorums, or either of them, are to be made in all ^arighteousness, in holiness, and lowliness of heart, meekness and ^blong-suffering, and in ^cfaith, and ^dvirtue, and knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and charity;
