MATH 122B, 124, AND 125

FINAL EXAM REVIEW PACKET

(Spring 2013)

The following questions can be used as a review for Math 122B/124/ 125. These questions are
not actual samples of questions that will appear on the final exam, but they will provide
additional practice for the material that will be covered on the final exam. When solving these
problems keep the following in mind: Full credit for correct answers will only be awarded if all
work is shown. Simplified exact answers must be given unless an approximation is required.
Credit will not be given for an approximation when an exact answer can be found by techniques
covered in the course. The answers, along with comments, are posted as a separate file on
http://math.arizona.edu/~calc (follow the course link).
