To the MAT092 student: Below is a list of the learning outcomes for your class, along
with a set of sample problems that demonstrate the application of that particular outcome.
Answers are given to the right of the problem for your convenience. Your final exam
will consist of a set of problems similar to those on the list. The questions on the
common final will all be in multiple choice/short answer format. Your instructor may
choose to add additional problems to this core as part of the overall final. You should
prepare for the final by reviewing these questions, along with any others that your
instructor might advise. Please see your instructor with any questions you might have.
Your exam will be given in class during the last meeting of your section the week of
May 9-10.
