You may use a calculator. For Multiple Choice questions #1-18, NO partial credit will
be given. For Free Response questions #1-2, show all work as partial credit may be given;
answers without any work or explanation will receive NO credit. There is an Extra Credit
problem on the last page for which no partial credit will be given. Each Multiple Choice
question is worth two points.
