Homework Answers:

I have provided the answers to the above exercises with a minimum of explanation. If you’ve reached this point it is assumed that you’ve read all the preceding information (yes, I know there’s a lot of it). If you don’t understand why a particular step is taken, re-read the appropriate section above.

I suggest you actually try to do the exercise before you read the answers. The answers provided below are not the only way to accomplish the tasks given, they’re just the way that I happened to do them. If you arrive at the desired result by another method, that is fine, end results are what matter.
