This is a "skills test."  It is meant to test your basic skills, not your ability to solve more complex problems.  The emphasis will be on things like finding equations of linear, exponential, trigonometric and polynomial functions, shifting, stretching and composing functions, solving equations using logs, finding domains and ranges, and finding inverses.  There will be at most one "application problem."

General Rules

• This is an in-class test.
• No notes, books or calculators are allowed.
• This test covers 1.1-1.6.  Section 1.7 will not be covered.  In addition, you are not responsible for inverse trig functions.

• Look over your old homework assignments and in-class exercises.
• Do a few of the suggested review problems.  Answers are posted outside your instructor's office.  Many of the review problems are more challenging than the basic skills type of questions that will be on the test.
• For each type of function covered in Chapter 1, make sure you understand how to recognize and characterize each type algebraically, numerically and graphically.
• Look at the chapter summary on p. 48.

• Chapter 1 (pp 48-52):  1-12, 14, 15, 22-30, 32, 34-38
• Check your understanding (pp52-53):  1-14, 18, 20, 36-40
