FINAL EXAM Math 21b, Fall 2003Name:MWF10 Izzet CoskunMWF11 Oliver Knill• Start by writing your name in the above box andcheck your section in the box to the left.• Try to answer each question on the same page asthe question is asked. If needed, use the back or thenext empty page for work. If you need additionalpaper, write your name on it.• Do not detach pages from this exam packet or un-staple the packet.• Please write neatly. Answers which are illegible forthe grader can not be given credit.• No notes, books, calculators, computers, or otherelectronic aids can be allowed.• You have 180 minutes time to complete your work.1 202 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 1010 1011 10Total: 120Problem 1) (20 points) True or False?
