I can solve all your
problems.
My plan to change
you for the better
I know all about you
Here’s how you find
my roots
I’m better than you
are
I need you
What I can offer
your company
What is my max,
and where do I find
it?
Looking for a
method to solve me
We’re too different
to continue this
relationship
These steps will
solve all my
problems
Why I’d be a better
elected official than
standard form
Exercises to move
and make the
function thinner in

Why you are so
square
I’ll change you to
standard form
How you affect me
Why I can’t use you
to solve all the
questions
I have some bad
news about your
roots
