homework problem, you will most likely be
informed that you must run the MyMathLab

with very clear and concise directions to run
this installation wizard which will download the
necessary files for you to use MyMathLab. Just
follow these directions (it should only take a
few Minutes). You will only have to do this
once. Once this is done, you will be taken back
to the first homework question to begin.

Here is the first question . You will see a menu
of buttons on the left. These buttons must be
used to input answers that cannot be easily input
just using the keyboard (like fractions, square
roots, etc.) If you need help using these
buttons, there is a link to a tutorial on the
main course page under the announcements.
You will also see other buttons on the right
where you can view a similar example, watch a
video on this topic, etc. Again, feel free to
play around with these features.
Once you have worked out the problem on paper,
input your answer here And then click Check
Answer.
20
If you input a wrong answer you will get a box
like this. Read the suggestions In the box and
click Done. You should then rethink and rework
the problem, then try again.

this box. Click OK to continue.

question.

assignment you are currently working on, click

assignment for a grade.
