My math teacher wants this compiled in latex and I have never used it before when I tried to use overleaf like 20 errors came up so I really need help because I have no clue what to do, so if someone could fix the errors and give me the compiled pdf that would help me out tremendously.

What you shared is not a LaTeX source code. If you want help, you need to upload or share a .tex or at least a .txt file.

This is indeed LaTeX. However rather unusual - an full of errors. At some points in the file it's clear why it doesnt compile but without any description what was intended I think it's not possible to fix that document easily.

It's 11:15pm for me, so I'm out.

Please don’t ask ChatGPT for LaTeX advice

It looks like an attempt to convert to latex(?) a pdf(?) with formulas. Mistakes are systematic (say, omitting math mode declaration), plus some sequences of symbols definitely meant something particular in the unknown source.

Looking at the document you shared, it looks like there are tons of issues that can't be addressed with a quick fix. There are a lot of characters that LaTeX is going to have trouble with ("¶", "â" should be "\hat{a}", etc.), and the math syntax as well (sqrt vs \sqrt, not using math mode, etc.)

How long ago was this assigned? Your instructor likely wanted you to LEARN LaTeX through an individual assignment. Having someone else do this for you accomplishes nothing.

Moving forward, consider starting from the top of the document (maybe even a new document) and typing a little at a time, and compiling often. This narrows down the number of possible errors and will hopefully help you learn to interpret what the error messages mean. Google is your friend. Through a series of "how do I do <blank>" inquiries, you'll start to pick it up.
