Bonus Problem:
Explain the Three-Way Principle.
When approaching a mathematical concept, it often helps to use 3 complimentary approaches
first is Verbal - make analogies, put the problem in your own words, compare the situation to
things you may have seen in other areas of mathematics. Second is Graphical - draw a graph or a
diagram. Third one is Examples - Use specific examples to illustrate the situation.
