Show all work for credit and do all work neatly and legibly.  No fuzzy edges. Please use standard sized paper (printer paper is fine)

 

 

HOMEWORKS THAT PREPARE YOU FOR TEST 1:

Late homework not accepted. The problems marked with a * are bonus problems, they will increase your homework score if you do them correctly. I do not cap the homework score at 100. If you had a 105 homework average then this would help balance out points lost in other aspects of the course. In any event, completion of the homework is likely the most vital step towards success in this course.
