Steve,
You're right! These are definitely questions from a homework assignment I'm
taking in an online class at Diablo Valley College. We're able to go to the
lab for assistance with this one, but I've decided to use online sources
instead. I'm a teacher myself at the same college, taking this course for
personal enrichment, and I would never cheat on an assignment. But I do
believe strongly in being innovative when it comes to finding answers, and I
encourage my students to do the same. If you don't feel comfortable answering
these, I completely understand. In fact, I have a pretty good idea already
what the answers are based on my own experimentation and reading.
