If needed, use the back or the next empty page for work. If you need additional paper, 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 for the grader can not be given credit. • No notes, books, calculators, computers, or other electronic aids can be allowed. • You have 180 minutes time to complete your work.Problem 1) (20 points) True or False?
