Read all of the following information before starting the exam:

• Show all work, clearly and in order, if you want to get full credit. I may take off points if

I cannot see how you arrived at your answer (even if your final answer is correct).

• No calculators, notes or books are allowed for this test.

• Please keep your written answers brief; be clear and to the point. You may lose points for incorrect or irrelevant statements.

• Please turn off cellphones, take out headphones and sit every other seat.

• You have 50 minutes to work on this exam.

• Good luck!
