MATH 142 Module 3 Turn In Assignment: Trigonometric Equations and Equation Editors

In a Microsoft Word document, (2003, 2007, or 2010), solve the problems below showing all your steps through the use of the Microsoft Word Equation Editor (Instructional YouTube videos for Microsoft Word.
2007 (Links to an external site.) or2010 (Links to an external site.) 
Equation Editors) or MathType. Follow the textbook instructions to complete the exercises and submit your work. UseMicrosoft Mathematics 4.0 (Links to an external site.), which can plot graphs of trig functions, or another tool like the shareware Graphmatica.Note: Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 is not compatible with Mac computers, but Graphmatica is depending on the download you choose. Refer to Course Specific Information for more information about the software products mentioned above.
Before completing the problems below, practice using an equation editor with an example from the textbook. By doing that, you can see what you are trying to accomplish. If you choose a similar problem in your assignment, then you can modify it to fit the assigned problem. Or, if you already know how to solve the problems, first, do them correctly by hand. Then type them in a good format using an equation editor. As a competent user of an equation editor, you’ll save time and see the logic in your thinking more clearly by typing the solution directly. Students who use equation editing tools work faster and make fewer mistakes. Typically, students are slowed down because of handwriting errors (sometimes due to bad handwriting) or by skipping vital steps in a problem. The equation editors help to eliminate those errors.

Your task:
•	Show all your work when solving the following problems:
o	Exercise Set 5.2, Practice Exercises, problems 27 and 69 (pp. 545-546)
o	Exercise Set 5.2, Application Exercises, problem 79 (p. 547)
•	Use Graphmatica or a web applet to graph each function and then copy-and-paste the images to your assignment for the following problem:
o	Exercise Set 5.5, Practice Exercises, problems 19, 30, and 59 (pp. 589-590)
•	Show all your work when solving the following problems:
o	Exercise Set 5.7, Practice Exercises, problems 46 and 69 (pp. 619-620)
The deliverable:
1.	Submit your work in a Microsoft Word document using the assignment activity link above.
2.	Timeliness is essential to get the highest possible grade; no extensions.

Criteria	Ratings	Pts
Analysis and Interpretation	Solutions to problems explicitly show complete understanding of concepts and processes used. Succinct, well-reasoned summary when applicable.
50.0 pts	Solutions to problems show complete understanding of concepts and processes used, occasional large, but correct leaps in logic. Not as concise as could be, but well-reasoned.
45.0 pts	Errors of attention to detail (instructions, arithmetic precision, incomplete responses), but otherwise sound work. Minor weaknesses in reasoning.
40.0 pts	Major concept errors and/or Math atrocities (fundamental algebra errors) on more than one problem along with weaknesses in reasoning.
35.0 pts	Majority of work mathematically flawed, problems missing or incomplete.
30.0 pts
	50.0 pts
Writing and Equation Editor Skill	Problems solved and posted clearly with the perfect use of MathType or some type of Math editor, graphs informative and add value.
40.0 pts	Problems solved and posted clearly with good use (possibly errors or spacing issues) of MathType or some type of Math editor.
36.0 pts	Problems solved and posted with fair use (several errors/repetitive errors) of MathType or some type of Math editor.
32.0 pts	Problem statement missing, so student misses parts of required answers. Flow of math solutions choppy, knowledge gaps evident, but improvable.
28.0 pts	Skills fail the standard for “D” work.
