GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
You may wish to look over the problems before starting to work on them, since it is not expected that
everyone will be able to complete all parts of all problems. All problems are given equal weight, but the
parts of a particular problem are not necessarily given equal weight.
A GRAPHING CALCULATOR IS REQUIRED FOR SOME PROBLEMS OR PARTS OF PROBLEMS ON THIS
SECTION OF THE EXAMINATION
ο· You should write all work for each part of each problem in the space provided for that part in the
booklet. Be sure to write clearlyandlegibly. If youmake an error, youmay save time by crossingit
out rather than trying to erase it. Erased or crossed-out work will not be graded.
ο· Show all your work. You will be graded on the correctness and completeness or your methods as
well as your answers. Correct answers without supporting work may not receive credit.
ο· Justifications require that you give mathematical ( noncalculator ) reasons and that you clearly
identify functions, graphs, tables, or other objects you use.
ο· You are permittedtouse your calculator to solve an equation,findthe derivative of a functionat a
point, or calculate the value of a definite integral. However, you must clearlyindicate the setup of
your problem, namely the equation, function, or integral you are using. If you use other built-in
features or programs, you must show the mathematical steps necessary to produce your results.
ο· Your work mustbe expressedinstandardmathematical notationratherthancalculatorsyntax. For
example, β« π₯2 ππ₯
5
1 may not be written as fnInt ( X2
, X , 1 , 5 ).
ο· Unlessotherwise specified,answers( numericor algebraic) neednot be simplified. If your answer
is given as a decimal approximation, it should be correct to three places after the decimal point.
ο· Unlessotherwisespecified,the domainof afunction f isassumedtobe the set of all real numbers x
for which f ( x ) is a real number.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
You may wish to look over the problems before starting to work on them, since it is not expected that
everyone will be able to complete all parts of all problems. All problems are given equal weight, but the
parts of a particular problem are not necessarily given equal weight.
A GRAPHING CALCULATOR IS REQUIRED FOR SOME PROBLEMS OR PARTS OF PROBLEMS ON THIS
SECTION OF THE EXAMINATION
ο· You should write all work for each part of each problem in the space provided for that part in the
booklet. Be sure to write clearlyandlegibly. If youmake an error, youmay save time by crossingit
out rather than trying to erase it. Erased or crossed-out work will not be graded.
ο· Show all your work. You will be graded on the correctness and completeness or your methods as
well as your answers. Correct answers without supporting work may not receive credit.
ο· Justifications require that you give mathematical ( noncalculator ) reasons and that you clearly
identify functions, graphs, tables, or other objects you use.
ο· You are permittedtouse your calculator to solve an equation,findthe derivative of a functionat a
point, or calculate the value of a definite integral. However, you must clearlyindicate the setup of
your problem, namely the equation, function, or integral you are using. If you use other built-in
features or programs, you must show the mathematical steps necessary to produce your results.
ο· Your work mustbe expressedinstandardmathematical notationratherthancalculatorsyntax. For
example, β« π₯2 ππ₯
5
1 may not be written as fnInt ( X2
, X , 1 , 5 ).
ο· Unlessotherwise specified,answers( numericor algebraic) neednot be simplified. If your answer
is given as a decimal approximation, it should be correct to three places after the decimal point.
ο· Unlessotherwisespecified,the domainof afunction f isassumedtobe the set of all real numbers x
for which f ( x ) is a real number.
