Take your time to read the entire paper before you begin to write, and read each question
carefully. Remember that certain questions are worth more points than others. Make a note
of the questions that you feel confident you can do, and then do those first: you do not have
to proceed through the paper in the order given.

• You have 3 hours to complete this exam.

• The exam consists of two parts:

– Part A contains multiple choice questions. Circle your answer. There are no part
marks for multiple choice questions.
– Part B contains long-answer questions. The correct answer requires justification
written legibly and logically: you must convince me that you know why your
solution is correct. Draw boxes around your final answer.

• This is a closed book exam, and no notes of any kind are allowed. The use of cell phones,
pagers or any text storage or communication device is not permitted.

• Only the Faculty approved TI-30, TI-34, Casio fm-260 or Casio fm-300 series calculators
are allowed.

• The correct answer requires justification written legibly and logically: you must convince
me that you know why your solution is correct. Answer these questions in the space
provided. Use the backs of pages if necessary.

• Where it is possible to check your work, do so.

• Good luck!
