This file contains an accumulation of quizzes from the past several semesters of Ma 126.
The quizzes are those that were asked before the first test. I also am including the first
tests from several recent semesters. This document should serve as an adequate study guide.
Look where these problems come from in the book and study problems in a neighborhood
of their union.
1. Estimate the area under the curve y = x2 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 by using an upper sum and
four rectangles of equal width.
2. Estimate the area under the curve y = x2 between x = 0 and x = 1 by a lower sum
with four equal subintervals.

General Instructions. Write your name on only the outside of your blue books. Do not
write on this test sheet, do all of your work inside your blue books. Write neat complete
solutions to each of the problems in the blue book. Please put your test sheet inside the blue
book as you leave. There are 111 points.
An easy burrito is made from a heaping spoon full of canned beans, some leftover rice,
grated cheese, salsa, and a largish tortilla. Combine the stuff on top of the tortilla with the
cheese toping everything. Zap in the microwave for 1 minute or less, and then zap again. If
you have some guacamole and/or sour cream, add these before rolling it up.
