Review for Final Exam MA 160 This will help you prepare for the final exam review, during which I will primarily review example problems. 1. The exam will consist of 20 choice questions and 2 extra credit questions. Each question is worth five points. The questions will cover the following sections from the textbook: • Chapter 1: 2. (See Study Guide on pg. 146.) • Chapter 2: 1–5. (See Study Guide on pp. 222–228, skipping Section 2.6, greatest integer, and difference quotient.) • Chapter 3: 1–5. (See Study Guide on pp. 287–292, skipping completing the square and reducible to quadratic.) • Chapter 4: 1, 2, 5, 6. (See Study Guide on pp. 375–385, skipping Sections 4.3 and 4.4, intermediate value theorem, and oblique asymptotes.) • Chapter 5: 1–6. (See Study Guide on pp. 470–477, skipping compound interest and earthquake magnitude.) • Chapter 6: 1–6. (See Study Guide on pp. 574–583, skipping function values of special angles, aerial navigation, and reflections.) • Chapter 7: 1, 4. (See Study Guide on pp. 644–650, Sections 7.1 and 7.4 only.) 2. Be mindful of the mode your calculator is in — degrees or radians. 3. sin 3 should be read as the sine of 3 radians. sin 3 ◦ is the sine of 3 degrees. 4. Always read problems carefully — pay attention to such things as a problem stating that the units of x or f (x) are thousands, etc. 5. Remember — sin 2 x = sin x 2 and sin −1 x = 1 sin x
