 Write the original problem and show all work.
 Many of the assigned problems are odd. The expectation is that you will check your
answers as you’re doing your homework for immediate feedback. Use www.calcchat.com
to CHECK your work (we use the 8th edition). Do not use this website as a ‘crutch’ to
complete your homework.
