A CALCULATOR MAY NOT BE USED ON THIS PART OF THE EXAM.

Directions: Solve each of the following problems, using the available space for scratch work. After examining the
form of the choices, decide which is the best of the choices given and fill in the corresponding circle on the answer
sheet. No credit will be given for anything written in the exam book. Do not spend too much time on any one
problem.

In this exam:

(1) Unless otherwise specified, the domain of a function f is assumed to be the set of all real numbers x for which
f ( x) is a real number.

(2) The inverse of a trigonometric function f may be indicated using the inverse function notation f -1 or with the
prefix “arc” (e.g., sin -1 x = arcsin x ).

A GRAPHING CALCULATOR IS REQUIRED FOR SOME QUESTIONS ON

THIS PART OF THE EXAM.

Directions: Solve each of the following problems, using the available space for scratch work. After examining the
form of the choices, decide which is the best of the choices given and fill in the corresponding circle on the answer
sheet. No credit will be given for anything written in the exam book. Do not spend too much time on any one
problem.

BE SURE YOU ARE USING PAGE 3 OF THE ANSWER SHEET TO RECORD YOUR ANSWERS TO
QUESTIONS NUMBERED 76–92.

YOU MAY NOT RETURN TO PAGE 2 OF THE ANSWER SHEET.

In this exam:

(1) The exact numerical value of the correct answer does not always appear among the choices given. When this
happens, select from among the choices the number that best approximates the exact numerical value.

(2) Unless otherwise specified, the domain of a function f is assumed to be the set of all real numbers x for which
f ( x) is a real number.

(3) The inverse of a trigonometric function f may be indicated using the inverse function notation f -1 or with the
