MATH 118 Midterm Review W19

Instructor: Dr. Brenda Yasie Lee

Midterm Review: Sunday, February 24th, 2019 from 1:00PM - 4:00PM in MC 4031

This midterm review package is meant to help prepare MATH 118 students for the upcoming midterm exam-
ination. The problems have been selected by the instructor to provide the best representation of the scope of
the midterm examination.

Here are a few notes regarding the midterm examination:

1. A formula sheet will be provided during the exam and has been provided at the end of this review package.
Please use this formula sheet during your studies to familiarize yourself with its use and its contents. Any
concepts, formulae or equations that are not on the formula sheet will not be provided to you.

2. When you write an exam, please be sure to read the front matter! Please read it during the midterm so
that you’re not missing out on any important details. Take note that (a) no calculators are allowed and
(b) there is an extra blank page for rough work.

3. Remember that ”blank page for rough work”? Read the instructions on this extra page as well! Note that
if you want to use this page for rough work...then it’s just that. BUT, If you run out of room and
wish to continue your answer on the extra page, you MUST indicate in the original question
page that you have chosen to continued the solution on the extra page!.

Now, back to the midterm review package! The following questions are grouped by subject matter. It is
important to note that although these questions provide a very clear understanding of the concepts that will
be tested on the midterm, they do not cover every single type of question that will appear on the midterm
examination. As with every test, there must be some sort of unseen element that truly tests your knowledge of
the concepts.

Best of luck with the midterm!
