Math 1030 Midterm 1

Rules: You are permitted a single 8.511 sheet of notes

and a free-standing calculator (not a phone or pad de-
vice). You must stow all other gear before the test starts.
We will supply blue books. The test has two parts. The
rst is multiple choice recorded on the scantron sheets.
The second requires you to work out problems on pa-
per. The test covers chapter 1, chapter 2, and section 1
of chapter 3. No consultation, other than questions to
invigilators for clarication of problems, is permitted.

series converges because... or The series diverges be-
cause....
Problem 13 (4 marks) Suppose that a ball falls from a
10m roof and bounces half a high as its last fall, repeat-
edly. Use geometric series to estimate the total vertical
distance the ball travels.
Problem 14 (4 marks) Suppose that f(x) =
