PROBLEM SET 3

Pledge of Honesty. I pledge to maintain the highest level of integrity and ethical principles as a student of MSU-IIT
in support of academic excellence. I affirm that I will not give or receive any unauthorized help on exams or any
other class work, and that all work will reflect my own abilities. I will not lie, cheat, use unauthorized resources, falsify
data, plagiarize, or be complicit with those who do. I acknowledge that the honesty and integrity I demonstrate as a
student of MSU-IIT is the foundation of my professional reputation.

General Instructions. Show your COMPLETE solution and BOX your final answers. Unboxed answers will not be
counted. Write your solutions neatly and legibly on a short bond paper, portrait orientation, and stapled on the upper-
left corner. Deadline of submission is on December 4, 2023, Monday, before 5:00 PM. Failure to follow instructions
will be given corresponding deductions. Late papers will be given 10% deduction with an additional 10% for every
succeeding day. Once the solution is discussed in class, no further submissions will be accepted. If I am not around,
ask Ma’am Vanessa to put a time stamp on your paper.

Part I-A: Find what is asked. BOX your final answer. Unboxed answers will not be counted.
