FINAL EXAM (120 min) MATH 26500 SPRING 2015 Student Name Student ID Instructor Section number (3-digits, as in the table below) Mark Test 01 and Section Number on your scantron ! There are 25 questions on this exam. Each question is worth 8 points. Exam Rules 1. Students may not open the exam until instructed to do so. 2. Students must obey the orders and requests by all proctors, TAs, and lecturers. 3. No student may leave in the first 20 min or in the last 10 min of the exam. 4. Books, notes, calculators, or any electronic devices are not allowed on the exam, and they should not even be in sight in the exam room. Students may not look at anybody else’s test, and may not communicate with anybody else except, if they have a question, with their TA or lecturer. 5. After time is called, the students have to put down all writing instruments and remain in their seats, while the TAs will collect the scantrons and the exams. 6. Any violation of these rules and any act of academic dishonesty may result in severe penalties. Additionally, all violators will be reported to the Office of the Dean of Students. I have read and understand the exam rules stated above: STUDENT SIGNATURE: Section Numbers: Bauman, Patricia: 071 Dadarlat, Marius: 033 Gabrielov, Andrei: 031 Ulrich, Bernd: 121 Zhilan Julie Feng: 061 Noparstak, Jakob: 173 Ma, Linquan: 021 (10:30am) and 072 (9:30am) Li, Dan 022 (02:30pm) and 052 (01:30pm) Kelleher, Daniel: 131 (04:30pm) and 141 (03:30pm) Gnang, Edinah 032 (09:30am) and 051 (10:30am) Xu, Xiang 132 (MWF 03:30pm) and 162 (MWF 04:30pm) Zhang, Xu: 171 (TR 01:30pm) and 172 (TR 12:00pm) 1 (1) If we solve the equation: [ a+ b c− a c+ 2a 3 ] = [ 3 −4 11 3 ] for a, b and c, the values of a and b are: A. a = 2, b = 1 B. a = 7, b = −4 C. a = 5, b = −2 D. a = −1, b = 4 E.
