Homework 4

General Comments

• Problem from the book are taken from the Chapter Review Problems sections.
• For full credit, provide context for each problem, show all calculations, and explain your work/answers.
• Numbers and/or algebra by themselves are not enough.
• You will lose a significant amount of credit if you do not show enough work/context for your answers.
• Homework assignments must be very neatly written or typeset (e.g. using Word or OpenOffice).
