Topics and sample problems for Math 017 Final Exam(long version)
Below there are 59 categories:9 arithmetic categories
13 easy algebra categories24 basic algebra categories9 difficult algebra categories4 very difficult algebra categories
Each version of the exam will be created as follows:First, 45 categories will be selected: All 9 arithmetic categories will be included. From thealgebraic categories, 8 categories will be selected at random from 13 easy categories, all24basic algebra categories will be represented, 3 out of the 9 difficult categories, and 1from thevery difficult category. After this process, we will have 45 categories. One questionout of each such category will be selected at random. Thus, the test will consist of 45 questions.
ARITHMETIC PART: 9 QUESTIONS
Select randomly one question from each category.
1AAddition, subtraction, multiplication, or division of integers (using both: and fraction bar as a division sign) - up to 3 integers.
