College Algebra, Math 143, Kriloff
Chapter 3 Assignments

Changes are shown in red.
G indicates problems from the Graphing Utility Exercises.
It may be helpful to work similar odd-numbered problems when an even-numbered problem is assigned.
Working additional problems (without the book, with a time limit) is good preparation for exams.

2. The one topic you are weakest in or understand the least.
Due 1/31

Reading Sheets

Each Reading Sheet should consist of two things:

Both of these should be complete, well-written sentences with correct grammar, spelling and punctuation (although I will make corrections, you will not be graded on this) and should be as specific as possible.  For instance, after reading Section 3.1 you might write the following.

MII: A function assigns to every element of the domain exactly one element of the range.
Q1: On page 103 it says "Unless otherwise indicated, the domain is assumed to be the set of all real numbers that lead to unique real-number outputs."  How can some other domain be indicated?
Q2: How is the inequality in Example 2(a) solved?

And I might reply:
MII: Also of importance is the fact that a function can be represented using words, formulas, tables, or graphs, as well as the meaning of the notation f(x).
A1: Sometimes restrictions on the values of the independent variable are given as inequalities along with the function, as in Exercise 66.
A2: We will go over this in class.

As a way to come up with questions, ask yourself what topic was most confusing in the section.  If you have absolutely no questions, describe specifically the one topic that was hardest to understand.  Reading sheets will be graded 0, .5, or 1, based primarily on effort (there may be many important ideas and many good questions).  There will be about 20 reading sheets during the semester and your point total will be included in your homework average.  These are intended to encourage you to read the section before we discuss it in class and to give you credit for doing so.  This should help you stay caught up and be better prepared, and should allow us to use class time more efficiently.
