Calculus for the Phys./Life Sciences 1

(Sections 02 and 04)

Homework Assignment #8

Due Wednesday, November 9, START of Class


Homework should be turned in at the BEGINNING OF CLASS. All problem numbers refer to the 4th edition Hughes-Hallett, Gleason, McCallum, et al. book, the required text for the course. You should write up solutions neatly to all problems, making sure to SHOW ALL YOUR WORK. A nonempty subset will be graded. You are strongly encouraged to work on these problems with other classmates, although the solutions you turn in should be YOUR OWN WORK.

Note: Please list any students or faculty who you worked with on the assignment.
