Section 4.4 Homework Hints

Problems 1-2
IN YOUR OWN WORDS problems remind you of what you did in the previous section.
Problems 3-6
Light "on" represents a "1" and light "off" represents a "0." See Figure 4.4.
Problems 7-18
See Examples 1 and 2. Write each given number in exponential notation.
Problems 19-30
See Example 3. Use repeated division and keep track of the remainders.
Problems 31-34
See Table 4.9. The letter "D" follows the capital C (which has ASCII code 67), so "D" is 68. Repeat for each letter.
Problems 35-38
See Table 4.9. The number "67" is "C," so "68" is "D," ... and "72" is "H."
Problems 39-46
Read the directions to these problems carefully, and then use the addition and multiplication tables to work out an answer, as shown in Example 4.

    Note: Homework Hints are given only for the levels 1 and 2 problems.
