The purpose of this assignment is to introduce you to some basic concepts in Word and Excel. All written responses should be typed and your graphs should be generated in Excel. This project must be one complete word document. Submit your finished in your zip file via the digital dropbox (found in the tools area). This project must be done as an individual.

2. Open an Excel document.

In cell A1 type x.
In cells A2 through A31 type the numbers 1 through 30.

In cell B1 type 3x+5.
Next we are going to use excel to calculate the value of 3x+5 for the numbers 1 through 30.
In cell B2 type =3*A2+5.
Highlight cells B2 through B31.
Go to the edit menu and select fill, then down.

In cell C1 type x^2.

In cell C2 type =A2^2.
Highlight cells C2 through C31.
Go to the edit menu and select fill, then down.

In D1 type ln(x).
We are going to use excel to calculate the value of ln(x) for the numbers 1 through 30.
In cell D2 type =LN(A2).

In E1 type Roman Numerals.
