Instructions:
These questions are here for you to demonstrate your understanding of the course material.
To do that, show all relevant supporting work to receive full credit on all Problems unless explicitly stated not to.
Incorrect answers with substantially correct work may receive partial credit.
Answers without justification will receive no credit.
Using a table of values or L’Hôpitals Rule are not justification for computing limits.
Using graphs not given in this assignment are not justification.
Give exact answers unless instructed to do otherwise.
Intervals should be expressed simplified in interval notation.
If a requested value does not exist, write “DNE”. Write that limits “DNE” only if they do not exist and are neither 1 nor
1.
You are expected to evaluate any famous functions at standard values.
This is a closed book/closed note exam.
Calculators, tablets, and other devices are not permitted.

You are responsible for any instructions in Carmen pertaining to this exam.

Your solutions are to be uploaded to Gradescope as a single pdf file.

Failure to follow the Gradescope formatting guildelines will result in substantial penalties.
Check that the file you upload is the file you intend to turn in. No credit will be given if the wrong file is uploaded or the file
is posted to the wrong assignment.

The following is the statement of the Intermediate Value Theorem:

Theorem. If f is a continuous function on the closed interval [a, b ], and d is any value between f (a) and f (b ), then
there is a number c in (a, b ) such that f (c ) = d .
