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.

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

skip the certain parts which require use TI-84

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?
