1 Math Solutions to Review Problems Homework is to be handed in for grading according to the schedule at the end of the syllabus. Each homework assignment is worth points, which will be awarded as follows: For the tetbook problems, you will earn 3 points if you have done them all and showed how you arrived at the answers. We understand that some problems can be done in your head so no work is needed for those, but most will require some algebra and for those your work must be shown. If you do some but not all of the problems you will be awarded 0,, or points at the discretion of your DIS teacher. The problems at the end of the syllabus are also part of your homework. They are labeled R, where is the corresponding homework number. For eample, R0 is to be handed in with homework HW0. The problems will be graded by your DIS teacher who will award points for a correct solution and answer, point for a competent solution but the wrong answer (e.g., you made a simple arithmetic mistake), and 0 points for a poor solution or a correct answer that is not supported by the proper algebraic steps. Be sure to circle your answers. The solutions will be posted on my web site the day after they are due so you can check your work. Unless specifically asked for, the graphs shown below are not necessary but only serve as checks on the solutions. Tue 6 Sep HW0 is a Diagnostic Pretest.

26 Math Solutions to Review Problems, page 6 Tue Nov HW3 on Sec. Composites. Review problem R3 from Sec 4.4 Rational Inequalities. Solve:. Write inequality with 0 on one side. 0. Find the real zeros of the numerator and denominator Real zeros are at 3,, and Use the real zeros to break up the number line into intervals. Interval: Use a test point in each interval to see if the function is positive or negative. Interval: Try Signs of 3 NN N Sign of f N P N P 0 f? yes no yes no Since we want NP N 0 f, the solution has values of in the intervals from to -3 and also from - to 0. Since the original inequality was not strict (it was rather than ) the -3 and 0 are included. However, we cannot include the - since when = - we would get division by 0, which is not allowed. So, the final, 3,0. interval is NP P PP P
