Final Exam

Instructions:

• Wait until time to start is announced before looking at the questions.

• Write your name, ID number and section time and instructor’s name on
this page now.
Before turning in your exam, write your name and ID number in the space
provided on the first side of each remaining page.

• Write your answers on the exam paper in the space provided. Do preliminary
work on scratch paper, then write a clear and concise answer giving your solution
and enough steps to justify it.
Points may be deducted for incorrect or irrelevant parts of a solution even if
a correct answer is included.
If you need more space for your solution to a problem, attach an extra page
and write your name and ID number on it. Extra pages should not usually be
needed.

• You may use two sheets (written on both sides) of prepared notes. No other
notes, books, calculators, or other electronic devices are allowed.

• There are 14 questions, worth a total of 100 points.
