    Section 2.3
    82 (a - d)

    I don't have a graphing calculator to do part (b) nor do I understand what to do here.

    Which model is part (c) referring to?

    Can you set up part (d) for me to try on my own?

    Note: This is the final question for Section 2.3. We move on to Section 2.4 or Complex Numbers.

    The all-purpose TI-84 Plus graphing calculator needed for this.

    I don't have this calculator. Should I skip the entire question or only certain parts?

    You got it. Right or wrong, I will show my work.

    I cannot c without doing b. For part (d), I need a polynomial to apply synthetic division. I did part (a) by hand but my graph looks more like a straight line than a scatter plot.

    Is my t-axis and N-axis exactly where it should be or is it vice-versa? After this problem we move on to Section 2.4 or Complex Numbers.

    Your graph is so much better. How did you do it?
