2 Warning – To succeed at solving these problems, you must be able to solve problems on your own. This means: a.) No notes. b.) No calculator. c.) No tutor or friend. To accomplish this, you must be able to perform each step prior to seeing it carried out. So, after you think you understand the process, try another problem. Rather than looking at this example to direct you, look at it to check your progress and understanding.
