MATH 129

FINAL EXAM REVIEW PACKET

(Revised Fall 2010)

The following questions can be used as a review for Math 129. 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. The
answers, along with comments, are posted as a separate file on http://math.arizona.edu/~calc.
