CHE 374 TIMED EXAM # 1 DATE: 14th October 2020 Duration: 1-hour max

NEEDED: Connection to internet (eclass)

Two pages of blank paper for scratch work (not to be submitted!)
You may use your Computer or Calculator for calculations (no MATLAB)

Material covered: non-linear equations (module 2); systems of linear equations (module 3). Systems
of non-linear equations will not be covered.

 8 Multiple choice problems, (half of the problems require no calculations (qualitative)

 Each problem will be awarded one, two or three points, depending of the level of effort
expected.
 The quiz opens at 10:00am and will close at 12:0 noon. However, your attempt will be
automatically submitted ONE hour after you have started it, unless you have exam
accommodation.
 The attached page contains a sample formula sheet (equations typically given in an in-
class exam)

 Your exam clock begins once you have clicked the button.
