NOTE 1: Be sure to read Homework Format, Homework Writing Policy, and Explanations Expected BEFORE writing up your solutions to be turned in.
NOTE 2: When two or more Lessons are to be turned in on the same
day, please staple the Lessons separately and turn them in separately.
(This is Lesson 8; if another Lesson is due the same day as this
Lesson is due, staple the two Lessons separately and turn them in
separately.)
Due Monday, September 14
- Sect. 3.4
- Exercises 60, 61, 62*, 63**.
* In Exercise 62, you are asked in the textbook to determine if the functions are even or odd (or neither). If you claim that a function is NOT even or odd, give a specific point which verifies your claim. E.g., if you claim that a function f is not odd, give an example of a number x such that f(-x) is not equal to -f(x). You should do this for each of the functions given, if you claim that the given function is not even or not odd.
For example, suppose that one of the given functions is f(x) = x2. This function is not odd because, when x = 1, then f(-1) = 1, whereas -f(1) = -1, so f(-1) ≠ -f(1). (Any number other than 0 could have been used in place of 1.)
** Exercise 63 is not in the textbook. Here is Exercise 63:
- Is there a function which is BOTH even and odd?
If so, give an example.
If not, explain why not.
NOTE: As stated on the Course Home Page, all due dates are tentative. Assignments, or parts of assignments, may be postponed to a later date.
