Note: You need to show your work. Microsoft Word has an equation editor. Go to “Insert” and “Equation” on newer versions of Word. On older versions, go to “Insert” and “Object” and “Microsoft Equation.” If you choose instead to use Excel for your calculations, be sure to upload your well-documented Excel files so that I can check your work, but you still need to answer the questions IN THIS FILE!
