Diagnostic Review Your eventual success in future mathematics courses, including this course, depends to a large extent on knowledge. The following example questions are intended to diagnose weaknesses that you might have in the following areas: algebra, analytic geometry, and functions. This is not an all inclusive diagnostic, but it should nonetheless give you an idea of what you should be able to do at this point in time. For each of the following questions you need to show all work clearly and in order, and then box your final answers. Justify your answers algebraically whenever possible..
