A lot of intermediate algebra is centered on finding the square root and variables of certain equations. Learning how to factor correctly and graph equations are two of the most important skills a student takes away from intermediate algebra. This helps create a solid foundation that makes the content of future algebra courses more easily understood. Intermediate algebra is also used in the ACT Mathematics section.
Many clinical trials are testing new combinations of chemotherapy drugs for pancreatic cancer. Many studies are seeing if combining gemcitabine with other drugs can help people live longer. Other newer chemo drugs are also being tested, as are combinations of chemo drugs with newer types of drugs.
