Exam 2 – Set A August 8, 2007 6 – 8 pm

This is a closed notes, closed books exam. Write your name, section, instructor’s name, and test set (A or B) on
the upper right hand side of each page. Write on only one side of your answer sheets. All scribbles at the back
of your answer sheet will not be checked. Use only black or blue ballpen. Write your complete solution. Be sure
to indicate all units and box your final answers. The checker reserves the right to disregard solutions that are
incomprehensible and/or illegible. Cheating will not be tolerated. Good luck! ☺
