Instructions
Read Sections 3.1 and 3.2 in your textbook before attempting this lecture. Also read Section 3.3 if you are unfamiliar with the mathematical concepts in that section. Then, proceed through the questions to practice introduced concepts.
Your work will be reviewed to assess understanding and given any relevant feedback. However, this is a "lecture" and therefore the points assessed are not part of your grade. The instructor will review your answers after the due date and provide custom feedback if appropriate.
For some problems below, you may wish to plot functions with a graphing calculator. Note: the graphing calculator uses independent variable x rather than n. See how to use sliders within the graphing calculator to choose values for (e.g.) constants.
You can also use Wolfram Alpha to solve equations. For example, when is 3n + 7 > 10?
