    • Submit homework separately from this workbook and staple all pages together. (One staple for the entire submission of all the unit homework)
    • Start a new module on the front side of a new page and write the module number on the top center of the page.
    • Answers without supporting work will receive no credit.
    • Some solutions are given in the solutions manual.
    • You may work with classmates but do your own work

    Exercise 1

    Compute and simplify the following. Show all of the steps. Use the binary operations defined at the beginning of this module.

    a. 5 * 9 b. 4 * 8 c. b * a d. 1 , 5
    e. 7 , 4 f. b , a g. 88 ! 79 h. m ! n
    i. b ! a j. \(6 \oplus 5\) k. \(2 \oplus 7\) l. \(b \oplus a\)
    m. 8 # 1 n. 4 # 6 o. b # a p. 8 @ 5
    q. 9 @ 4 r. b @ a s. 6 \(\odot\) 7 t. 2 \(\odot\) 5
    u. b \(\odot\) a v. 3 \(\boxed{\times}\) 8 w. 5 \(\boxed{\times}\) 6 x. b \(\boxed{\times}\) a
    y. 7 )( 8 z. 3 )( 2 aa. b )( a

    Exercise 2

    Simplify each of the following. Show each step.

    a. 3 * (4 * 2) b. 3 @ (5 @ 2) c. 3 ! (5 ! 2)

    Exercise 3

    Compute the following, using the definitions for the operations defined at the beginning of this module. Show each step.
