We are in the final stretch of school, and this week is solely focused on giving students a chance to turn in any missing work, and prepare for the final exam. Attached below is the Study Guide for the Multiple Choice section of the final exam. The study guide can be completed and turned in for credit on Monday. As promised in class, below you will find the workout out solutions for the Study Guide. Please note the typos on problems 20! One final reminder that there are 5 short answer questions on your final exam that cover the topics in our final unit on exponential functions. These questions are not on the study guide. Please review what you know about exponential growth from our rabbit exercise, and about linear tables and graphs from our ball drop exercise. I'm sure if you were in class, you will do fine on these questions.
