This exam contains 8 pages (including this cover page) and 8 problems. Check to see if any pages are missing. Enter all requested information on the top of this page, and put your initials on the top of every page, in case the pages become separated. Calculators may be used. Please turn o cell phones. You are allowed to bring one-half of one single-sided 8.5 inch 11 inch page of notes, in your own handwriting, to the exam. Do not give numerical approximations to quantities such as sin 5, , or 0 simplify cos 2 = 0, e = 1, and so on. The following rules apply: Show your work, in a reasonably neat and coherent way, in the space provided. All answers must be justied by valid mathematical reasoning. To receive full credit on a problem, you must show enough work so that your solution can be followed by someone without a calculator. Mysterious or unsupported answers will not receive full credit. Your work should be mathematically correct and carefully and legibly written. A correct answer, unsupported by calculations, explanation, or algebraic work will receive no credit; an incorrect answer supported by substantially correct calculations and explanations might still receive partial credit. You may use a crib sheet which you have prepared in advance. The crib sheet may only be 1 a half page (8 1 2 5 2 inches), on one side. Scientic calculators are allowed. Turn o cell phones! 2.
