MAT485 M003
Final Exam

Directions:

• Do all problems.

• SHOW ALL WORK. No work means no points!

• No books, notes, calculators, cellphones or other electronic devices.


Turn them off now. If you are seen with a cell phone in hand during
the exam, it will be construed as cheating and you will be asked to
leave. This includes using it as a time-piece.
