QNT 101: Introduction to College Algebra

The Week 4 Assignment is a graded task consisting of 10 algebra-related questions that learners must complete and submit for review. The assignment is worth a total of 20 points, and learners are required to show their work step-by-step to receive credit. 

Learners will submit their responses as a PDF file, which can be generated from either a physical notebook or a Google Doc. The assignment focuses on various algebraic concepts, including inequalities, geometry, and problem-solving involving real-world scenarios. The detailed solutions must include the necessary working steps to ensure proper evaluation by the ALX graders.

The Week 8 Assignment involves analyzing a case study on gravitational pull, using provided data points to determine the planet's acceleration due to gravity and other related insights. Learners will plot a graph based on the data, calculate the line of best fit, determine key variables, and perform further analysis by drawing additional comparison lines. 

The final submission will include a completed graph, calculations for acceleration and initial speed, modifications representing different scenarios, and a 500-word explanation detailing the process and insights. Learners are required to submit their work as a PDF file, including all relevant calculations, graphs, and explanations.

The Week 11 Assignment is a comprehensive task involving solving 14 algebra-related questions, collectively carrying 40 points. Learners are expected to show all their work step-by-step to receive full credit. The questions cover many algebraic concepts, including graphing functions, finding intercepts, simplifying polynomial expressions, synthetic division, solving exponential equations, and applying the Rational Zero Theorem. 

Learners must compile their completed work into a PDF file, which can be generated from a Google Doc or a scanned version of a handwritten solution. The final submission should include all relevant calculations, graphs, and explanations, ensuring the work is well-structured and easy for graders to follow.

The Week 15 Assignment involves analyzing four case studies, applying algebraic methods to solve real-world problems, and making recommendations based on the results. Learners will create systems of linear equations, plot graphs, estimate solutions, and verify results using non-graphical methods like substitution or elimination. 

The final submission should include a detailed PDF with all calculations, graphs, and explanations for each case study, totaling 40 points. Learners must demonstrate orderly working steps and make recommendations based on their findings, ensuring clarity for effective evaluation by the graders.
