MAT3705 - 2024

Assignment 4

Chapters 6 and 7

Due date: 20:00 on 5 September 2024

Please note:

ˆ No typed solutions will be accepted. Only handwritten assignments will be accepted. Please scan your

solutions and upload them as a single pdf on the mymodules page.

ˆ Please make sure that you submit the correct file on the MAT3705 mymodules page. No changes will be

allowed after the closing date. No e-mailed solutions will be accepted.

ˆ Your submission has to be your own work. Copying answers, using answers from the internet, buying

solutions, etc. are academic offences and detrimental to your own learning.

ˆ You have three weeks to submit your solutions. For this reason, loadshedding and technical difficulties will

not be considered valid excuses for failing to submit.

ˆ This assignment has 2 pages and 6 questions. Please make sure that you answer all questions.
