  product of prime numbers. Complete the following
  steps for this discussion
• List the ages of two people in your life, one
  older than you and one younger than you. It would
  be best if the younger person was 15 years of age
  or younger.

MAT 126 Week 1 Written Assignment (Arithmetic and
geometric sequence)

• Assignment
• Following completion of your readings, complete
  exercises 35 and 37 in the Real World
  Applications section on page 280 of Mathematics
  in Our World. For each exercise, specify whether
  it involves an arithmetic sequence or a geometric
  sequence and use the proper formulas where
  applicable. Format your math work as shown in the
  Week One Assignment Guide and be concise in your
  reasoning. Plan the logic necessary to complete
  the exercise before you begin writing. For an
  example of the math required for this assignment,
  please review the Week One Assignment Guide.

MAT 126 Week 2 Assignment Is It Fat Free

• Following completion of your weekly readings,
  read Are You Sure Its Fat Free? on page 286 of
  Mathematics in Our World. Gather three of your
  favorite packaged foods perhaps one from each
  breakfast, lunch and dinner. Use the model
  explained in the Are You Sure Its Fat Free? to
  analyze, through the mathematical formula
  explained, the fat content and protein content
  from your foods. To analyze the protein content
  use 4 calories per gram of protein, rather than
  the 9 calories for grams of fat.

MAT 126 Week 2 DQ 1

• This Discussion should be an eye opener for most
  students. We will look at our food shopping
  trends and how we spend our money. The outcomes
  should reveal some interesting facts.
• Save a cash register receipt from a shopping trip
  to the food market, or borrow one from a family
  member or friend. The cost of four prepackaged
  food items that are sold by weight and the cost
  of at least three fresh fruits, or vegetables
  need to appear on the receipt. If you have no
  access to a receipt with these items, then you
  will need to go to the store and write down the
  cost information, or find a grocery advertisement
  online.

MAT 126 Week 2 DQ 2

• This Discussion will help us learn to develop our
  own mathematical models, write down the equations
  and then solve the equations for unknown values
  using algebraic methods.
• Refer back to Week One Discussion and use the
  names and ages of yourself and the other two
  people you selected. Make sure one is older than
  you and one is younger than you.
• In years, how old was the older person when you
  were born?
• Write an equation that models how old in years
  each of you will be, when your ages add up to 150
  years old. For example, if x your age and the
  eldest person was a year older than you, you
  would write their age as x 1. Then the equation
  would be x (x1) 150.

  first three exams, what is the lowest score she
  can get on the fourth exam to receive credit for
  the course?

10
MAT 126 Week 3 Assignment Quadratic Equations

• Following completion of your weekly readings,
  complete the exercises in the Projects section
  on page 397 of Mathematics in Our World.You
  should be concise in your reasoning. For Project
  1, work only equations (a) and (c), but complete
  all 6 steps (a-f) as shown in the example. For
  Project 2, please select at least five numbers
  0 (zero), two even, and two odd. Make sure you
  organize your paper into separate projects.

11
MAT 126 Week 3 DQ 1

• This Discussion will concentrate on functions and
  graphs. Understanding the definitions of words is
  the essence of mathematics. When we understand
  the meaning of words, finding a solution is much
  easier because we know what task the problem is
  asking us to complete.Part 1
• In your own words, define the word function.
• Give your own example of a function using a set
  of at least 4 ordered pairs. The domain will be
  any four integers between 0 and 10.

12
MAT 126 Week 3 DQ 2

• This Discussion tests your ability to use a ruler
  and convert from Standard English measure to
  Metrics. You will then apply your knowledge of
  the geometric measurements of area and volume
  through real world problems.
• Choose a room in your house. Measure the length,
  the width, and the height. Make sure you use feet
  and inches. Most rooms are not a whole number,
  such as 10 feet they are 10 feet and 3 inches,
  or 9 feet 6 inches, etc.NOTE Do not use decimal
  numbers for the feet.

MAT 126 Week 4 DQ 1

• The purpose of this Discussion is to analyze a
  financial plan that portrays a somewhat typical
  budgeting scheme. You will calculate expenses, a
  mortgage payment, and the effects of interest and
  financing on your budget. Show your math work for
  every answer and identify the answers with words.
• Select the first three letters of your last name.
  Each letter has a numerical place value in the
  alphabet. For example, D is 4, L is 12, and Z is
  26. Add the three place values together. For
  example, Wallace would yield WAL, which is
  23112 36.

  understanding of the similarities and differences
  between classical probability and empirical
  probability.
• In your own words, describe two main differences
  between classical and empirical probabilities.
• Gather coins you find around your home or in your
  pocket or purse. You will need an even number of
  coins (any denomination) between 16 and 30. You
  do not need more than that. Put all of the coins
  in a small bag or container big enough to allow
  the coins to be shaken around. Shake the bag well
  and empty the coins onto a table. Tally up how
  many heads and tails are showing. Do ten
  repetitions of this experiment, and record your
  findings every time.

MAT 126 Week 5 DQ 1

• This Discussion will give you the opportunity to
  calculate or identify the three measures of
  central tendency. You will be asked to select an
  appropriate real life situation in which one
  measure would be more appropriate than the other
  two measures of center.
• Select a topic of interest to you and record the
  topic in your posting, for example What is the
  average number of hours people watch TV every
  week? Make sure the question you ask will be
  answered with a number, rather than answers with
  words.
