Go to the end of the chapter and look at the STUDY PROBLEMS.

Ch.19:1,2,5,8

Ch.20:1,2,3,5

Please check the syllabus to see what questions you should do and submit your answers to the assigned problems.

You may type your answers into the text box, or you may embed a pic of your work done on paper. No other submission will be accepted. I will ignore email submissions.

To embed an image use the little icon to the right of the insert hyperlink icon. It looks like a pic of a mountain and sun.

Be careful to embed images that will work within Canvas. I believe some students may have problems with phone pics and may need to convert them to jpeg images first. You can find a jpeg converter free online.
