Self check

After completing the exercises, use this checklist to evaluate your mastery of the objectives of this section.

.

If most of your checks were...

…confidently. Congratulations! You have achieved the objectives in this section. Reflect on the study skills youused so that you can continue to use them. What did you do to become confident of your ability to do these things? Bespecific.

…with some help. This must be addressed quickly because topics you do not master become potholes in your road tosuccess. In math, every topic builds upon previous work. It is important to make sure you have a strong foundationbefore you move on. Who can you ask for help? Your fellow classmates and instructor are good resources. Isthere a place on campus where math tutors are available? Can your study skills be improved?

…no—I don’t get it! This is a warning sign and you must not ignore it. You should get help right away or you willquickly be overwhelmed. See your instructor as soon as you can to discuss your situation. Together you can come upwith a plan to get you the help you need.

Suppose the inflation rate is 6%, does it mean that all the goods you purchase will cost 6% more than previous year? Provide with reasoning.
Geetha Reply
Not necessarily. To measure the inflation rate economists normally use an averaged price index of a basket of certain goods. So if you purchase goods included in the basket, you will notice that you pay 6% more, otherwise not necessarily.
