Homework Assignment #5
Due Wednesday, October 7, 2026, 11:40 am
Do the on-line assignment “HW #05.” This week’s assignment is short since we just had the first test.
For these problems, the calculations are not complex, but you should be sure your reasoning is clear. You don’t need to write a lot, but you do need to include more than just equations. Explain or define what you are doing at key steps.
25.68 (20 pts.)
26.12 (20 pts.)
Please write neatly and show your work clearly. I need to be able to follow your reasoning. Homework that is incomplete or difficult to understand will not get full credit.
If you get bogged down with any of the problems, do not hesitate to discuss them with your instructor or with a fellow student. However, if you discuss a problem with anyone (besides your instructor) you should acknowledge that collaboration. Please see the Academic Honesty policy for more information about appropriate and inappropriate collaboration.
