I have completed this assignment myself, working independently and not consulting anyone
except the instructor.
INSTRUCTIONS There are 6 problems on 5 pages. This quiz is open book and open notes. This means that
you may refer to your textbook, notes, and online classroom materials, but you must work
independently and may not consult anyone (and confirm this with your submission). You
may take as much time as you wish, provided you turn in your quiz no later than 11:59 PM
(US Eastern Time Zone) Wednesday, July 20, 2016. Show work/explanation. Answers without any work may earn little, if any, credit. You
may type or write your work in your copy of the quiz, or if you prefer, create a document
containing your work. Scanned work is acceptable also; a single file in pdf format is
preferred. In your document, be sure to include your name and the assertion of
independence of work (see top of the page). If you have any question, please post it in “Ask the Professor” discussion on LEO if the
