Extra Credit Homework

Extra_Credit_hw.pdf
This is 100 points homework, each problem carries 10 points. 40% of this homework will be added to your First Midterm directly, e.g., if someone scored 60% in First Midterm and he scores 80% in this homework, then (40% of 80)=32 will be added to his midterm grade, so his new midterm 1 grade will be 60+32=92, however if someone's score exceeds 100 after this extra credit, then for obvious reason he will only get 100 and not more, so in that case he will have 100% in his first Midterm.
You must turn in your homework in the class on Monday, 18th October, 2010. Any kind of late submission will NOT be accepted!
