1 Math 13 L Shipley Exam #3 Review Spring 2011 Exam #3 will cover chapter 6, and the first two sections of chapter 7. This review will give you an idea about what types of concepts will be covered on the exam. On the day of the exam, you may bring a 5x7 card with helpful formulas written on it and an approved calculator. ll electronic devises, such as cell phones and MP3 players, must be turned off during the exam. egin preparing as soon as possible, and be sure to ask either myself or staff at the MLC for help on any areas that you feel you need explaining. Do your best. Examples of problems from True or false: If = { 9,10,12,14,17} { 10,12,17} 2. True or false: If = { 2, 4, 7,10,13} { 4, 7,13} = = = 3.
