Instructions: Write legibly. Show all solutions and state all assumptions. Write your full name, student number,
and section at the upper-right corner of each page. Start each problem on a new sheet of paper. Box or encircle
your final answer.
Answer sheets should be color coded according to your lecture section. The color scheme is as follows:
THQ – yellow
THU – white
WFX – pink
