• For the decimal places in final answers:
Indicated per item.

FOR YOUR GIVEN:

• Use the digits of your student number for your given.
𝑥 = 4𝑡ℎ 𝑑𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟
𝑦 = 5𝑡ℎ 𝑑𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟
𝑧 = 6𝑡ℎ 𝑑𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟

Ex. 2018-100234
x = 2, y = 3, z = 4
If the given is 8.x5 = 8.25
