A GRAPHING CALCULATOR MAY BE REQUIRED TO SOLVE SOME QUESTIONS

ON THIS PART OF THE EXAM

Directions: Solve all of the problems that follow. Available space on the page may be used for
scratch work. You may not return to the previous section of the exam.

In this exam:

(1) The domain of a function in this exam is assumed to be all real numbers for which the

function is defined, unless specified otherwise.

(2) The inverse notation or the prefix “arc” may be used to indicate an inverse function.

For example, the inverse tangent of x x

may be written as arcsin( ) or as .

(3) The exact numerical answer for a problem may not be listed as one of the given choices.

When this is the case, choose the value that is the closest approximation to exact value.
