In all my years playing with math textbooks, I have noticed that authors do not explain how to solve every type of problem. Instead, they expect students to use the ideas taught per chapter or section to answer questions normally not covered in class. I plan to post the following types of problems from the Michael Sullivan Precalculus Edison 10 textbook:

A. Questions that I don't know how to solve
B. Questions that are in the back of each chapter that Sullivan does not provide a sample for
C. End of chapter test questions
D. Challenging questions

The edison 10 book, like most textbooks, does not provide the answer to even number problems. Should I post odd number questions, even number questions or both? I think it makes sense to post even number questions. By doing so, the answers can then be obtained for self-study and practice. Do you agree? If not, why?
