Section:

ë Do all of your work in this booklet, show all your computations and justify/explain your
answers.
ë Do not remove any pages.
ë Your justification must be based on techniques already discussed in this√course.
ë Unless otherwise stated, give exact answers. For example, write π and 2 instead of 3.14 and 1.41.
However, when an expression simplifies to a well-known value, you must use that value. For example,
you must write 1 instead of e0 , and you must write π/3 instead of sec−1 (2).
ë If you run out of space when answering a problem, you may use the last page of the exam for extra
calculations, but you must indicate in the space below the question that you are continuing your
answer on the extra sheet.
ë If asked to use a specific theorem to calculate some quantity, you will receive no points if that
theorem is not used.
ë Do not discuss the exam with anyone until grades are posted on Canvas.
