You must sign to affirm that you have followed the UNC Charlotte Student Code of Academic Integrity, or your exam will not be graded.
You may assume the 5% rule on all problems without checking the rule. Please read each question carefully and answer it completely and clearly. Most of the factual information you need is contained in the text of the problem. Answer the questions you find easy first; questions which appear difficult at first usually require a revision of your thought process. Always keep in mind the intended examination topics if a problem appears too hard. The quiz should have 5 pages for a total of 10 questions. Individual point values for free response are given in the corner of each answer space. You must show your work to receive any credit for problems involving calculations. All calculated answers and work must include units, and should be rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures!
