you prefer, as long as it is correct. You can also do (f) first and then deduce (e) from it,
if you wish.)

Guidelines for writing and submitting your homework:
- Write clearly and legibly. Staple your assignment.
- Do all problems in sequence if possible.
For each solution, identify clearly the section and problem number
(e.g. Section 1.3, Problem 30).
- Show all work.
-
Homeworks will be collected at the beginning of class on the due date.
A 10% late penalty will be applied to all homeworks handed in after
12:05 in class. Homework turned in after 1 pm on the due date will not be accepted.
If you cannot come to class, ask a friend to hand in your assignment
or drop it off at the Math office (MATH 121) before the deadline.
- Solutions to textbook problems are available in the Student Solutions
Manual. You are encouraged to try to solve all the homework problems on
your own. If you get stuck, you should consult the solutions manual, then
write up the solution in your own style, filling in the details where necessary.
Remember that merely copying solutions from the solutions manual without understanding
them will not prepare you for the examinations.
