MATH 140A NAMEEXAMINATION I STUDENT NUMBERSEPTEMBER 23, 2002 INSTRUCTORSECTION NUMBERThe examination consists of 15 problems: 11 multiple choice questions followed by 4partial credit problems. For the partial credit problems you must present your workclearly and understandably; no credit will be given for unsupported answers.For this exam calculators are not allowed and are not needed. For multiplechoice problems, please circle the correct answer in each question.The point value for each question is shown next to each question in the left margin. At theend of the examination, the booklet will be collected.THE USE OF CALCULATORS IS NOT PERMITTEDIN THIS EXAMINATION.CHECK THE EXAMINATION BOOKLET BEFOREYOU START. THERE SHOULD BE 15 PROBLEMSON 9 PAGES (INCLUDING THIS ONE).M.C.12.13.14.15.TOTALMATH 140A – EXAMINATION I – – PAGE 21.
