The final exam is due at 11:59 pm EDT on July 14, 2020. It is an open-book exam, where you may consult your textbook and course materials, and use a calculator. You must complete the exam individually without collaboration or consultation with others. Using unauthorized materials or work from others constitutes a violation of academic integrity.
Answer all 20 questions, ensuring responses are as complete as possible, with supporting work and reasoning shown explicitly.Answers solely derived from calculators, software, or programs without explanation will not be accepted. If using technology to aid calculations, cite sources and explain procedures used to obtain results. Record all answers and work on the provided answer sheet.
Questions 1 through 5 are multiple choice; provide justification and/or work for full credit. Questions 6 through 10 are True/False; justify your answers fully. The remaining questions require detailed solutions, showing all steps, calculations, and reasoning. Answers based solely on technology are not acceptable. Include the Honor Pledge on the title page of your submission; exams without it will not be accepted.
Paper For Above instruction
The final exam for MATH 115 encompasses a comprehensive set of questions designed to assess students' understanding of calculus concepts and their ability to apply techniques of analysis, algebra, and trigonometry. The exam covers topics including derivatives, functions, end behavior, inverse functions, graph transformations, solving equations algebraically, and analyzing conic sections such as hyperbolas and circles. It emphasizes demonstrating work clearly and logically, with detailed explanations where applicable, and discourages reliance solely on technological solutions without context or justification.
This rigorous assessment aims to evaluate students' proficiency in tackling complex mathematical problems, interpreting graphs, and formulating equations in standard forms, which are fundamental skills in pre-calculus and calculus studies. Proper presentation of reasoning and methodical problem-solving are crucial, alongside accurate calculations and correct use of formulas.
