For all questions that ask for an approximate answer, round to two decimal places (unless otherwise
specified). The most closely related question from the text (and MML) is indicated next to the
problem number. โGCโ indicates technology should be applied in solving the problem. Lastly, the
associated student learning outcome is in parentheses, e.g. (SLO2) means the question assesses
understanding of the second student learning outcome.
