Math 215, Final Exam, December 14, 2022, 08:00 am–10:00 am
Instructions
1. Do not open this exam until you are told to do so.
2. This examination booklet contains 9 problems on 12 sheets of paper including the
front cover. The second to last sheet is left blank for scratch work. The last sheet
contains a list of formulas.
3. Do not separate the pages of this exam, other than the formula sheet at the end of
the exam. Separated pages will not be graded.
4. Please read the instructions for each individual problem carefully. One of the skills
being tested on this exam is your ability to interpret mathematical questions, so
instructors will not answer questions about exam problems during the exam.
5. Show an appropriate amount of work (including appropriate explanation) for each
problem, so that graders can see not only your answer but how you obtained it. Still,
you should mark your answers in the correct box. Include units in your answer
where that is appropriate.
6. If needed, you may continue your solution on the back side of a page.
7. This is a closed book exam. Electronic devices, calculators and note-cards are not
allowed. Turn o↵ all cell phones, remove all headphones, and place any
watch you are using on the desk in front of you.
