Math 223 Final Exam Review Packetfall 2012the Following Questions C
The following questions can be used as a review for Math 223. These questions are not actual samples of questions that will appear on the final exam, but they will provide additional practice for the material that will be covered on the final exam. When solving these problems keep the following in mind: Full credit for correct answers will only be awarded if all work is shown. Exact values must be given unless an approximation is required. Credit will not be given for an approximation when an exact value can be found by techniques covered in the course.
