Finally, ALWAYS put the same headers that are given below at the TOP of your post so that we quickly recognize what you are doing.
Analytical Post: Pick ANY even multi-part problem from ANY chapter 2 section exercise set, and solve it here.

Learning Outcomes Post: Visit the week’s Introduction page in the Module area and pick a Course Objective to demonstrate for us here. Include the text of the Objective in your post.

If there is a research journal article that is relevant, write a paragraph about it. Get creative.
