Math 1431

Final Exam Review

Comprehensive exam. I recommend you study all past reviews and practice exams as

well. Know all rules/formulas.

Make a reservation for the final exam. If you miss it, go back and re-schedule. Best

times to find one is 9 p.m. – midnight.

Do the Teacher Evaluations on CASA, +1 point on the final exam grade.

Practice Final Exam is for practice and extra credit; 5% of the highest score is added to

the final exam grade.

The final exam raw score will replace one missed test or lowest test grade (if it’s better).

Recall:

Removable Discontinuity occurs when:

lim ( )x c

f x

f(c)

Jump Discontinuity occurs when:

lim ( )x c

f x

and lim ( )x c

f x

exists, but are not equal

Infinite Discontinuity occurs when:

lim ( )x c

on at least one side of c. Infinite discontinuities are generally associated

with having a vertical asymptote.
