<span>To acquire knowledge, thought is a fundamental necessity
-It must be "thought about" before any new ideas can be formulated (e.g., a student who is learning English as a second language must be competent in his primary native language before he can "think" or understand new concepts in another language)
-Initial emergence of language and thought are separate from each other, until about the age of 3 when a transition takes place in the child from the external to the internal
-Children practice private speech (self-talk) to become more competent
---The use of private speech helps children to self-regulate through organizing, guiding, and controlling their behavior
---Private speech is responsible for all higher levels of mental functioning
Noam Chomsky
Language Acquisition
-Language learning is innate
-Chomsky believes that children are prewired to learn language and that infants have a language acquisition device (LAD) built-in neurologically so that they can intuitively understand grammar
-There is a critical period when children find it easy to learn language
Language development milestones: Infant (0-12 months)
-Early vocalizations are spontaneous sounds of cooing (vowels) or crying
-Then babbling sounds (phonemes) begin with sounds more like patterned speech with consonant-vowel strings ("da-da-da-da")</span>
F(x) = -x² + 4
f(3) = -3² + 4
f(3) = -9 +4
f(3) = -5

Answer:
- (x +1)² = 4
- (D) x = -1 ±2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by getting the x-terms on one side of the equal sign. We can do that by subtracting x from both sides.
3 = x² +2x
Now, add the square of half the x-coefficient.
3 +1 = x² +2x +1
(x +1)² = 4 . . . . . . . . write as a square in the desired form
__
To solve, take the square root, and add the opposite of the left-side constant.
x +1 = ±2
x = -1 ±2 . . . . . . matches choice (D)
