Notes
You will need a calculator to answer some (but not all) of the questions. You must
decide whether or not to use a calculator for each question. You must use at least a
scientific calculator; you are permitted to use graphing or programmable calculators.

Degree measure is the only angle measure used on this test. Be sure your calculator
is set in degree mode.

The figures that accompany questions on the test are designed to give you informa-
tion that is useful in solving problems. They are drawn as accurately as possible
EXCEPT when stated that a figure is not drawn to scale. Unless otherwise indi-
cated, all figures lie in planes.

The domain of any function f is assumed to be the set of all real numbers x for which
f (x) is a real number, unless otherwise specified.
