...person in my class c. at least as old as q ■ Some of the most important mathematical concepts, such as the definition of limit of a sequence, can only be defined using phrases that are universal, existential, and conditional, and they require the use of all three phrases “for all,” “there is,” and “if-then.” For example, if a1 , a2 , a3 , . . . is a sequence of real numbers, saying that the limit of an as n approaches infinity is L means that for all positive real numbers ε, there is an integer N such that for all integers n, if n > N then −ε < an − L < ε. Test Yourself Answers to Test Yourself questions are located at the end of each section. 1. A universal statement asserts that a certain property is for . 2. A conditional statement asserts that if one thing . some other thing then 3. Given a property that may or may not be true, an existential for which the property is true. statement asserts that Exercise Set 1.1 Appendix B contains either full or partial solutions to all exercises with blue numbers. When the solution is not complete, the exercise number has an H next to it. A ✶ next to an exercise number signals that the exercise is more challenging than usual. Be careful not to get into the habit of turning to the solutions too quickly. Make every effort to work exercises on your own before checking your answers. See the Preface for additional...

...Integer Step 1: A function contains three parts: a header, a body, and a return statement. The first is a function header which specifies the data type of the value that is to be returned, the name of the function, and any parameter variables used by the function to accept arguments. The body is comprised of one or more statements that are executed when the function is called. In the following space, complete the following: (Reference: Writing Your Own Functions, page 225). a. Write a function with the header named addTen. b. The function will accept an Integer variable named number. c. The function body will ask the user to enter a number and the add 10 to the number.

...Distributive Property Kimberly Smith MAT 221 Introductions to Algebra Instructor: Andrew Halverson February 15,2014 I will be using distributive property to solve how properties of real numbers are used while I simplified the three given expression. To solve these three math problem I will use the distributive property to remove the parentheses in the problem. I will also combine like terms by adding coefficients and add or subtract when needed. Finally I would have my answer and then decide if the answer is simplified, if not I will simplify. The solving of properties of real number the properties of real numbers are important to know in all subjects, even complex numbers, because many of the properties are shared. Additionally the argument to any equation in algebra is real; therefore, algebraic expressions only manipulate reals (that is, if you have integer coefficients and no radicals). 1. 2a(a-5)+4(a-5) = The given expression 2a^2-10a+4a-20 = I will use the distributive property to remove parentheses so I can combine like terms by adding coefficient. 2a^2-6a-20 = Is simplified no combine like terms by adding coefficients 2a^2-6a-20 = Answer 2. 2w – 3 + 3(w – 4) – 5(w – 6)= The given expression 2w - 3 + 3(w - 4) - 5(w - 6) = Distributive property removes parentheses 2w - 3 + 3w - 12 - 5w + 30 = Combine like terms 2w + 3w - 5w - 3 -12 + 30 = Combine like terms by adding coefficients and add and subtract to get sum.

...Week 7 DQ The best way to determine the number of solutions a quadratic equation has is to graph the equation. The number of times the equation crosses the x-axis is the number of real solutions the equation will have. If you are given the solutions (roots) p and q of a quadratic equation then you can find the equation by plugging p and q into the formula (x-p)(x-q) = 0. It is possible for two quadratic equations to have the same solutions. An example of that would be -x^2 + 4 and x^2 - 4. Each of these equations have roots at x = -2 and 2 Example: x^6-3 Example: -x^6+3 Week 7 DQ Quadratic formula: In my opinion, this is likely the best overall. It will always work, and if you memorize the formula, there is no guessing about how to apply it. The formula allows you to find real and complex solutions. Graphing: graphing the equation will only give valid results if the equation has real solutions. The solutions are located where the graph crosses the x axis. If the solutions are irrational or fractions with large denominators, this method will only be able to approximate the solutions. If you have a graphing calculator, this method is the quickest. If you don't have a calculator, it can be difficult to graph the equation. Completing the square: This is probably the most difficult method. I find it hardest to remember how to apply this method. Since the quadratic formula was derived from this method, I don't think there is a good reason to use completing the square when...
