Note: Some of the questions above require drawing graphs. Here is a list of options for you to include a graph in your answer.

Draw the graph using MS Paint or CorelDraw or some other software. Copy the graph in a MS Word file and post the file on the course website in appropriate category.

OR

Draw the graph by hand on a paper, scan it and post it with your answer.

OR

Draw the graph by hand on a paper and describe the graph in words in your answer.
