Written Assignment 8

Due: Friday, April 5, 2024, 11:59 p.m.

Instructions

• This written assignment should be submitted via Gradescope by the date and time listed above. If you
are having technical difficulties submitting your assignment, you should consult the website’s help center.

• There are two ways you can write up your work.

– Write on this PDF using a tablet; OR

– Print this worksheet and write in the space provided. If using this option, you can use an app such
as OfficeLens to take pictures of your work with your phone and convert them into a single PDF file.
Gradescope will only allow PDF files to be uploaded.

• If you fail to write up your work in either of these ways, your work will not be graded and
you will lose full credit.

• You must show all work. You may receive zero or reduced points for insufficient work. Your work must
be neatly organized and written. You may receive zero or reduced points for incoherent work.

• If you need additional space for a problem you may do so on a spare piece of paper. If you need to do this,
you should only have one question per page. You can have parts a), b) and c) on the page for example,
but problems 1) and 2) should be on separate pages.

• When uploading to Gradescope, you must match each question to the page that your answer
appears on. Any question or page that is not assigned correctly will not be graded and you
will lose full points for that problem.

• Indicate your final answer clearly, such as putting a box or circle around it for each answer.

• These problems are designed to be done without a calculator unless otherwise indicated. While there is
nothing stopping you using a calculator when working through this assignment, be aware of the fact that
you are not permitted to use calculators on exams so you might want to practice without one.

• Regrade requests should be submitted solely through the Gradescope system and have to
do with the content of the material.

• This assignment contains 5 problems, 7 pages (including the cover) for a total of 59 points.
