Review for Test 3: 3.5 - 5.

Name___________________________________ DUE: Thursday night, 11/16, at 11:59 pm to Canvas

Remeber for the test you will need your own calculator. Sharing calculators durnig an exam is not allowed.

Directions:
Please upload ALL of your work as a single PDF* (file type upload is restricted) in the respective Canvas
assignment. If a question does not need work write, "no work needed" or something to that extent. Please make
sure your work is neat, organized, and legible. If I, or the grader, cannot read it or have to hunt around for the
respective work to a problem you will not earn full credit. This is due the night before the exam, by 11:59 pm.
Canvas will automatically reject any upload even one second late. Start uploading early. Please note that
sometimes the upload will take longer than expected. Late and/or email submissions are not accepted. Again,
start early so you can trouble shoot any technology issues that may arise.

Answers are on the last page.

You can upload your pdf document of your work that is either....

1. A scan of a print off of the review off with your work on the page;
2. A scan of your work on separate pieces of paper, or
3.Displayed on a soft copy of the review (eg. from using a tablet or similar device).

The point of this review is to help you study for the test. The answers are on the last page. You are not earning
credit for correct answers, but for working out, and attempting all of the questions to move you forward towards
your goal of passing the class.

*Adobe Scan, CamScanner, and Notes (on an iPhone) are free apps that allow you to convert pictures into .pdf files.
