not justify your final answer. Please indicate clearly whenever you continue your work on the
back of the page.
▪
When an answer box is provided, put your final answer in the box.
▪
When submitting a numerical answer that is a decimal, use
four decimal places of accuracy
after the decimal point.
▪
When submitting a numerical answer that is a fraction, reduce it to lowest terms.
▪
Be sure to include the units in your answer.
▪
If
you can not do part a) of some problem, but you need the answer for part b), then you can
