The best way to learn math is to practice, practice, practice. The assigned homework examples provide you with an opportunity to practice. Be sure to complete every assigned problem (or more if you need additional practice). Check your answers to the odd-numbered problems in the back of the text to see whether you have correctly solved each problem; rework all problems that are incorrect.Read pp. 156-160Homework: pp. 160-163 #11, 19-25 odds, 33, 35-41 odds2.1: The Distance and Midpoint
