Math 152, Fall 2005 Homework List

It is very important that you practice doing as many problems as you can. It is not enough to understand the concepts; you must be good at executing them or you will run out of time on exams. Therefore, I have prepared a list of warm-up or study problems for most sections. You do not have to turn the warm-up problems in, but you should do as many of them as you need to in order to feel comfortable with each concept.

You should follow the homework policy outlined in the syllabus for the paper problems to be turned in. In particular, please remember to follow all the format rules. I will announce in class when the problems for each section will be due and will update this list periodically online.

All paper problems due on the same day should be stapled together in one packet. All problems due on different days should be kept separate. This will be enforced!

† Note: this is not a simple yes or no question! As always, you must provide full justification for your answers. If the statement is true, prove it. If it is false, give a counterexample.

‡ Note: there is a typo in this question! The last line should read, "Show that L(V_1) is a subspace of W."

** Do only the 2 x 2 and 3 x 3 cases, and make a conjecture for n x n.

Note! In section 7.7 #23, 24, and 29, also sketch the graph of each conic section as neatly as you can. Draw your graphs large enough for me to see easily what is going on and label your axes clearly. Graph paper might be useful.
