09:38:16 This program has created the folder c:\vhmthphy on your hard drive. Browse to that folder and locate the file whose name begins with SEND. The name of this file will also include your name, as you gave it to the program, and the file will show as a Text file. Never tamper with a SEND file in any way. It contains internal codes as if these codes are tampered with you won't get credit for the assignment. However you are welcome to copy this file to another location and view it, make changes, etc. Just be sure that when requested to do so you send the instructor the original, tamper-free file. State in the Answer box whether or not you have been able to locate the SEND file. Don't send the SEND file yet. Note that more questions/instructions remain in the q_a_prelim.

RESPONSE --> Yes, I have located the send file

09:39:21 `q002. Note that every time you click on Enter Answer the program writes your response to your SEND file. Even if the program disappears all the information you have entered with the Enter Answer button will remain in that file. This program never 'unwrites' anything. Even if this program crashes your information will still be there in the SEND file. Explain this in your own words.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Regardless of what happens to the program I am currently running, every entered response will be saved to my SEND file and will not be unwritten for any reason.

09:41:41 Any time the instructor does not post a response to your access site by the end of the following day, you should resubmit your work using the Submit Work form, and be sure at the beginning to indicate that you are resubmitting, and also indicate the date on which you originally submitted your work. If you don't know where your access site is or how to access it, go to http://www.vhcc.edu/dsmith/_vti_bin/shtml.dll/request_access_code.htm and request one now. You can submit the q_a_prelim without your access code, but other assignments should contain your code.

RESPONSE --> OK

09:42:03 `q003. If you are working on a VHCC computer, it is probably set up in such a way as to return to its original configuration when it is rebooted. To avoid losing information it is suggested that you back up your work frequently, either by emailing yourself a copy or by using a key drive or other device. This is a good idea on any computer. Please indicate your understanding of this suggestion.

10:32:52 `q001. Explain the difference between x - 2 / x + 4 and (x - 2) / (x + 4). The evaluate each expression for x = 2.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> The differences in these expressions come by way of the order of operations. In the first expression 2/x would be the first operation followed by the addition of 4 and then be subtracted from x. In the second operation, the quantity (x-2) and the quantity (x+4) would each be dealt with seperately and then the division would take place. x-2/x+4 (x-2)/(x+4) =(2)-2/(2)+4 =(2-2)/(2+4) =(2)-1+4 =(0)/(6) =(2)-3 = 0 = -1 confidence assessment: 3

10:36:05 `q002. Explain the difference between 2 ^ x + 4 and 2 ^ (x + 4). Then evaluate each expression for x = 2. Note that a ^ b means to raise a to the b power. This process is called exponentiation, and the ^ symbol is used on most calculators, and in most computer algebra systems, to represent exponentiation.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> The first expression is raising 2 to the power of x whereas the second expression is raising 2 to the power of the quantity (x+4) 2^2+4 2^(2+4) =4+4 =2^(6) =8 =64 confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
10:36:47 2 ^ x + 4 indicates that you are to raise 2 to the x power before adding the 4. 2 ^ (x + 4) indicates that you are to first evaluate x + 4, then raise 2 to this power. If x = 2, then 2 ^ x + 4 = 2 ^ 2 + 4 = 2 * 2 + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8. and 2 ^ (x + 4) = 2 ^ (2 + 4) = 2 ^ 6 = 2*2*2*2*2*2 = 64.
