Final Exam Review F09 O’Brien
FM Lial 9th
Finite Mathematics Final Exam Review
Read and carefully follow all directions. Show all of your work on every problem. Work the problems on blank paper
with no resources other than the departmental formula sheet and your calculator. If you have to peek at something
(homework, notes, textbook, solutions manual, etc.) to complete a problem, take note of what knowledge you were missing,
and work some additional problems of this type.
To prepare for questions from 3.1 – 7.6, rework Exams 1 and 2. If you have difficulty with a particular problem, work
additional problems of that type from the Exam 1 Review and/or the Exam 2 Review and/or the homework assignments.
In addition to this review, you should work the Departmental Final Exam Review.
