Review examples 2, 3, and 4 in section 8.4 of the text. How does the author determine what the first equation should be? What about the second equation? How are these examples similar? How are they different? Find a problem in the text that is similar to examples 2, 3, and 4. Post the problem for your classmates to solve.

We have no idea to which text you refer.

You must post the problems in here and not say "refer to a text" or even list the text because we do not have copies of the textbooks.

To review examples 2, 3, and 4 in section 8.4 of the text, you can follow these steps:

1. Locate section 8.4 in the text and navigate to the examples mentioned. The examples are usually labeled or titled for easy identification.

2. Start with example 2 and read through the problem statement and the given information carefully. Look for any relevant equations or formulas that might be mentioned or implied.

3. Pay attention to any constraints or conditions mentioned in the problem. These may guide your selection of the equations to use.

4. Determine the unknown quantities that need to be solved for in the problem. This will help you identify the variables that need to be involved in the equations.

5. Look for any given equations or relationships that relate the known quantities to the unknown quantities. These equations are typically based on fundamental principles or laws in the subject.

6. If the problem does not provide any specific equation, you can try to use general equations that are commonly used in the subject area. For example, in physics, you might use equations related to motion or forces, while in mathematics, you might use equations related to algebra or geometry.

7. Once you have identified the first equation for the problem, repeat the same process for the second equation, considering any additional information given or any relationships that may help solve the problem.

Regarding the similarity and differences between examples 2, 3, and 4, you can compare these examples by analyzing their problem statements, given information, relevant equations used, and the methods employed to solve them. Look for common themes or approaches that are shared among the examples, as well as any distinctive features that set them apart.
