Homework 4



Homework 4: Due Friday 6 October

For many of the problems for which I state that no explanation is necessary, it still might be a good idea to show your work and/or explain your reasoning.


Section 2.1:

  1. 2, 4, 6, 8. (20 points.) No detailed explanations necessary. You should, however, sketch a clear, large copy of the graph for your own reference.
  2. 10. (10 points)
  3. 12. (10 points)
  4. 14. (10 points)
  5. 18. (10 points)

Although you don't have to, it might be faster to use Maple for problems 14 and 18. Here is a short Maple example working through a similar problem.

Section 2.2:

  1. 2. (5 points)
  2. 4. (5 points)
  3. 6. (10 points) I advise making a very big graph. It'll be easier to see stuff this way.
  4. 8. (10 points total).
  5. 14, 16, 20. (20 points total). Do not use any "shortcuts" or "rules" you may have learned in previous calc or pre-calc classes.
  6. 32. (10 points).

Chapter 1 Review Problems, pp. 70-75:

  1. What topics from Chapter 1 were the most difficult for you? What do you feel you need more practice on? Look over the review problems and do some of them. Do around "20 to 30 points worth" of work. This probably corresponds to 2 - 8 problems.
  2. Hand the review problems in separately; don't attach them to the other homework.
  3. You will correct the review problems next week. So give yourself lots of room in which to write additional comments.
  4. This portion of this assignment is worth 20 points. You will be graded exclusively on effort.

Bonus.

  1. 2.2, 25.
  2. 2.2, 28.
  3. Any of the stuff from the Focus on Theory section between chapters 1 and 2 would be good to look at.
