## Daily Homework

Generally, Daily Homework will be assigned every class session and will be due by the beginning of the next class session. The majority of the Daily Homework assignments are to be completed via WeBWorK, which is an online homework system. Once on the main WeBWorK page, click on DErnst_136 to access the WeBWorK homework for our class. You should log in with your NAU credentials. In addition to the problems done online, you will also be asked to occasionally submit written work. With some exceptions, each exercise (WeBWork or written) from the Daily Homework will be worth a point. Unless a student has a documented excused absence, late Daily Homework will not be accepted. However, if necessary, the scores will be “curved.”

1. On a toll road a driver takes a time stamped toll-card from the starting
booth and drives directly to the end of the toll section. After
paying the required toll, the driver is surprised to receive a
speeding ticket along with the toll receipt. Which of the
following best describes the situation? (a) The booth attendant does not have enough information to prove that the driver was speeding. (b) The booth attendant can prove that the driver was speeding
during his trip. (c) The driver will get a ticket for a lower speed than his actual maximum speed. (d) Both (b) and (c).
2. True or False? For $f(x) = |x|$ on the interval $[-\frac{1}{2}, 2]$, you can find a
point $c$ in $(-\frac{1}{2},2)$ such that
$f'(c) = \frac{f(2) – f(-\frac{1}{2})}{2-(-\frac{1}{2})}.$
3. Two runners start a race at the same time and finish in a tie. Prove that at some moment during the race they had the same velocity. (Hint: Let $p_1(t)$ and $p_2(t)$ be position functions of runners 1 and 2, respectively, and consider the function $f(t)=p_1(t)-p_2(t)$.)

## Weekly Homework

The Weekly Homework will be graded for more than the correct answer. In particular, intermediate steps will be graded, as well as your ability to present a complete solution. Moreover, your write-ups should be neatly written and make proper use of mathematical notation. The problems for your Weekly Homework will cover a subset of material covered the previous week. This will provide you with an opportunity to reflect on previous material and to deepen your understanding. Sometimes the problems will be identical to problems that you have already done and sometimes they will be new. Typically, the Weekly Homework assignments will be due on Wednesdays. Each Weekly Homework assignment will be worth 10 points, regardless of the number of problems. You are allowed to submit up to two late Weekly Homework assignments with no penalty. Also, two of your lowest Weekly Homework scores will be dropped.

• Weekly Homework 1: For this assignment, you have to complete 3 relatively simple tasks. (Due Friday, August 31)
• Stop by my office (Room 119 in Adel Mathematics) and say hello. If I’m not there, slide a note under the door telling me you stopped by.
• Send me an email at dana.ernst@nau.edu and tell me 3 important things that are in the syllabus. Note: Listing all of the exams dates only counts as one item. If you are the first person to point out a typo, I will give you a bonus point for each typo found.
• Provide a brief introduction (2-3 sentences) about yourself in the appropriate forum in Bb Learn. It should be obvious which forum to use. Instead of replying to someone else’s introduction, each person should start a new thread. However, you are welcome to reply to each other’s introductions.
• Weekly Homework 2: Complete exercises 1.4.9 (only part 3), 1.4.16, 1.4.23 (explain answer), 1.4.27, 1.4.28 (just the first column) from course packet. I expect your solutions to be organized, complete, and neatly written. (Due Friday, September 7)
