MTH-130 Precalculus Homework for 9/7/12

Here is the homework you should do by this Friday. It's a lot, but it breaks down as follows. Sections 1.1 through 1.3 are review and we covered them in class, so they shouldn't present much trouble for you. Just do it; it's good practice and should be a confidence builder for you. Section 1.4 we also covered in class; I expect you to get through all those exercises as well. Sections 1.5 through 1.7 we did not cover in class at all; these would normally be assigned for Week Two. Attempt these problems anyway. If you can do all these problems, great! If not, it should get you started asking questions (even if they start with "What the...!"). As long as it isn't something dangerous like scuba diving, it's good to attempt it on your own before your instructor explains how to do it. That way you are motivated to overcome frustration and you come to class with some expectation of what he'll be talking about. (You don't have to wait till Friday either--you can email me as soon as you run into trouble.)

Here is the homework assignment:

Section 1.1: Vocab check and exercises #27, 41, 47, pages 8-12.
Section 1.2: Vocab check and exercises #7, 19, 25, 33, 35, 49, 68, 71, pages 21-23.
