  4.  
  5. Since MS Word has a spell checker, misspelled words are not acceptable.
1. Using the information found in the online tutorial at  http://www.execpc.com/~aplehnen/tutorial.tex , use Scientific Notebook to do the following:

Enter these six algebraic expressions and perform the indicated operations.

Expand Expression 1.

Simplify Expression 2.

Simplify Expression 3.

Expand Expression 4.

Solve Expression 5.

Solve Expression 6

Take the answers to Expression 6 that involve square roots and approximate them as decimal numbers with 16 places.
 

Make a 2D graph of  for x between -6.28 to 6.28 . Double click on this graph and copy it to the clipboard. Open MS Paint, paste in the graph and save to your floppy disk as a gif image. Return to Scientific Notebook.

Make a 3D graph of  for x and y both between -3 to 3 . Double click on this graph and copy it to the clipboard. Open MS Paint, paste in the graph and save to your floppy disk as a gif image. Return to Scientific Notebook and print this worksheet.
 

2. Using the information found in the online tutorial at  ftp://www.madison.tec.wi.us/alehnen/winptut/winpltut.htm, use WinPlot to do the following:

Make a 2D graph of  for x between -6.28 to 6.28 . Use the File menu to copy this graph to the clipboard. Open MS Paint, paste in the graph and save to your floppy disk as a gif image. Return to WinPlot and print this graph from the File menu.

Make a 3D graph of  for x and y both between -3 to 3 . Use the File menu to copy this graph to the clipboard. Open MS Paint, paste in the graph and save to your floppy disk as a gif image. Return to WinPlot and by rotating the figure make a second copy of this image showing a different perspective view. Again use the File menu to copy this graph to the clipboard. Open MS Paint, paste in this new graph and save to your floppy disk as a new gif image. Return to WinPlot and print this last graph from the File menu.

3. Open MS Word and using the Insert P icture From File command sequence import the five images saved to the A drive in parts 1 and 4 into your document. After each graphic has been brought into your document select it and Insert a caption. Print this MS Word document.

4. Hand in all four printouts attached to the title page.
