Directions:
The use of a calculator is not permitted in this part of the exam. When you have finished this part of the exam,
you may return to the problems in Part A of Section II and continue to work on them. However, you maynot
use a calculator. You shouldshow all work. You maynotreceive any credit for correct answers without supporting
work. Unless otherwise indicated, the numeric or algebraic answers need not be simplified, and the domain of a
functionf is the set of all real numbers.
