Problem Set #4

You are responsible for the subject matter in chapter 6. The following topics are the most important. Typical exercises from Finite Mathematics and Its Applications, eighth edition, by Goldstein/Schneider/Seigel, are assigned at the end of each objective. Work additional exercises if you need more practice. The answers to the odd numbered problems are in the back of the text.  These exercises are for practice and are not graded.  

 The problem set, made up of the problems below, is graded in class.  See the Semester Plan for the current dates for the grading of the problem sets and taking of the hour quizzes.
