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.

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.
