Math Discussion

This discussion may require you to use exponents (superscripts) or log bases (subscripts). A short-cut that is handy for this is that both the superscript key (to make exponents) and the subscript key are in the drop-down menu next to the U for underline. 

For other mathematical symbols, follow the instructions for Using the Equation Editor.

Pick ONE of the problems from this collection “Advanced Functions Questions” that has not already been solved. Pretend that you are tutoring someone who has never seen these problems before and give a detailed demonstration of its solution.

Note: Problems are selected on a first-come basis. If a classmate has already chosen a problem you had wanted to answer, please select a different problem. Our goal is to answer and discuss as many different problems as possible.

Select Start a New Conversation and make the problem number the subject of your post. The answers are provided so don’t just give an answer—we can already see what the answers are. Don’t post an explanation unless your answer matches the correct one!

This is a moderated discussion. Your posting will not be visible to the rest of the class until I approve it. Occasionally, more than one person will tackle a problem before they can see the work of others. In that case, credit will be given to all posters. Once the solution to a problem has become visible, that problem is off limits and you will need to choose a different problem in order
to get credit. I will indicate in the grading comments if corrections need to be made. If you haven’t received credit, first double-check for my grading comments. If everything looks OK, then email me asking me to check on it.
