My dear Aunt,

Thanks a lot for sending a dictionary as my birthday gift. I celebrated my birthday by lighting fifteen candle-sticks. All the friends and relatives were invited. Music, dance and sumptuous dishes were the attractions. The party ended at 11.00 p.m.

I received many gifts. But the dictionary, you sent, is the best. Your precious gift is most useful to find meanings of difficult words and for learning correct pronunciation.

Thanks, once again for the lovely gift.

With kind regards

Observing and Classifying

Empathy is an emotion for caring and concern for others.

The process of consciously regulating our thoughts is termed as Self- Regulation

Let \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are roots of 2x² - 3x + 6 = 0

\(\therefore\) Sum of roots = \(\alpha\) + \(\beta\) = \(\frac{-b}{a}\) = \(\frac{-(-3)}{2}=\frac32 \)

& product of roots = \(\alpha\)\(\beta\) = \(\frac ca = \frac 62=3\)

\(\therefore\) 2\(\alpha\) + 2\(\beta\) = 2(\(\alpha\) + \(\beta\)) = 2 x \(\frac32\) = 3

& 2\(\alpha\) x 2\(\beta\) = 4 \(\alpha\)\(\beta\)  = 4 x 3 = 12

\(\therefore\) Quadratic equation whose roots are  2\(\alpha\) & 2\(\beta\) is 

x² - (sum of roots)x + products of roots = 0

⇒ x² - (2\(\alpha\) + 2\(\beta\))x + 2\(\alpha\) x 2\(\beta\)  = 0

⇒ x² - 3x + 12 = 0

Hence, required quadratic equation is x² - 3x + 12 = 0
