Here is math quotes to accompany your studies for final:

Dubos, René J.
Gauss replied, when asked how soon he expected to reach certain mathematical conclusions, that he had them long ago, all he was worrying about was how to reach them!

Hello Class:

This week the homework is on Chapter 5.1 and it is due on Wednesday.

Thank you

Hello Class:

First homework due this Wednesday August 25, 2010.

The first set is : 4.1-4.2.   Don't worry about 4.3.

Second set which is due next Wednesday on September 1, 2010 include: 4.3-4.4

Third set is due the following Wednesday September 8, 2010 also the day of the first exam.

Third set: 4.5-4.6.

Hello Class:

As promised, here is the response to question number 60.

Let x be the supply per pound, and p be the price per pound.

Now, from the question:

at $2.13 per bushel, the supply is 8.9 and the demand is 6.5.

So that translate to:

(x,p)  

for supply: (8.9, 2.13)  and for demand: (6.5, 2.13)

down to:$1.50 for supply 8.2, and demand 7.4.

for supply: (8.2,1.5) demand (7.4, 1.5)

Put all the supply coordinate together:

(8.9,2.13) and (8.2,1.5) 

Now, find the slope of the price supply:

m= (2.13-1.5) / (8.9-8.2)   = .9

Now use the point slope equation from math 130 or 110:

(y-2.13) =0.9(x-8.9)  solve interm of y:

y= .9x-5.88

Put all the price demand coordinate together:

 (6.5, 2.13) and (7.4,1.5)

find the slope of demand:

 m= (2.13-1.5) /(6.5-7.4) = -0.7

use the point slope formula:

(y-1.5) = -0.7(x-7.4)  and solve interm of y:

y= -.7x+6.68

I will present the graph in class.  Hope this answer your question.

Hello Class:

Welcome and greeting.  This is the blog that I created for our class in order for me to communicate pertinent information with regard to our class, such as concepts, homework assignments, etc.

With regard to office hours, I will answer questions during the class or after class.  You may make an appointment to see me if you need further assistant.  

Enjoy.

Hello Class:

We will have a speaker tomorrow at the beginning of the class, so come early to class.  It will take 15 minutes only so don't miss it.

See you in class, tomorrow.

Hello Class:

As I mentioned in class, I will have the study guide for test 1. However, if you would like to receive the hard copy, you may email me at 

mteng@lbcc.edu

Then I will email you the hard copy of the study guide.

Thank you.

Hello Class:

Welcome to my Math 37 class.  As I mention, I will post the homework on my blog.  So here it is:

Hello Class:

Here is the activity that we talked about in class.  Flip the coin 50 times and record the result.  The activity is due Monday.

For the Final:

The final include chapter 4, 7,8.  

On May 19, 2010.

Start prepare for it now, do not procastinate.

Do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions.
