Homework:  Homework is to be turned at the beginning of class on the days indicted below. Follow the guidelines at http://www.math.unt.edu/~brand/class/1710/2008Fall/homeworkexp.html when preparing your homework to be graded. Soon after class each day the homework assignments will be posted here.  You should do all the homework listed, but turn in only the problems listed in bold face type.

• August 27
  1)  Find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of y = 3x² + 2x at the point where x = 1.
  2)  Find the are bounded by the graph of f(x) = x² + x, the x-axis, the y-axis and x = 1.
  On both of these, use the method shown in class.  If you learned the "sort cuts" in another class, just be patient and we will cover that in a few weeks.

• August 28

  Prove the limit is what you think it is:
      Limit as x approaches 3 of 3x + 7
