Math 211, Section 03, Fall 2014
Final Exam, Monday, December 15, 2014
Instructions: Do all twelve numbered problems. If you wish, you may also attempt the three
optional bonus questions. Show all work, including scratch work. Little or no credit may
be awarded, even when your answer is correct, if you fail to follow instructions for a
problem or fail to justify your answer.
If your answer for a given problem is a sum of fractions with different denominators, you
may leave it that way. Otherwise, simplify your answers whenever possible.
If you have time, check your answers.
