College Algebra, Math 143, Kriloff
Chapter 4, 5, and 12 Assignments

Any changes will be announced in class and posted on the web page.  G indicates problems that use a graphing calculator.  Try working similar odd-numbered problems when an even-numbered problem is assigned.
You are strongly encouraged to work as many "A" problems as possible and, if you will take Math 170, some "B" problems as well.  There are also extra problems on the CD or the web tutorial at www.iLrn.com.
Working extra problems without the book and with a time limit is good preparation for exams.

Reading Sheets

These are to give you credit for reading the section before we discuss it in class.  They will help you stay caught up and be better prepared.  On each Reading Sheet you should include: Use complete, well-written sentences with correct grammar, spelling and punctuation (I will make corrections, but you will not be graded on this).  Be as specific as possible.  Here is an example from Section 3.1 of what you might write.  My reply is shown in italics.

MI: A function is a rule that assigns to every element of the domain exactly one element of the range.
Good, this is a key idea.  It is related to the meaning of the notation f(x), which is also important.

Q1: On page 134 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?
Sometimes restrictions on the values of the independent variable are given as inequalities along with the function, as in Example 7, where the domain is restricted to values of n between 100 and 1500.

Q2: How is the inequality in Example 3(a) solved?
Find key values where the numerator and denominator are zero, use these to divide the real number line into intervals, and find whether the quotient is positive or negative on each interval.  See Example 4 in 2.4.

To come up with questions, ask yourself what topic was most confusing.  Some possible question starters: "Why is/What is", "What is the difference between", "What is an example of", "How do I/How does",...
If you can think of no questions, describe specifically the one topic that was hardest to understand.
Reading sheets will be graded 0, .5, or 1, based on effort.  The points will total to one homework score.
