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.

Also, turn in a separate page with: 1. At least one question from Chapter 3 for the review in class on Wednesday. (e.g. Homework problems you missed / that were not graded / that were not assigned or turned in, examples from the text, questions you make up,...) 2. The one topic you are weakest in or understand the least. |

Reading Sheets
Each Reading Sheet should consist of two things:
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.
