Math 111 Final Exam

Directions: Please write your answers, with all appropriate work, in the spaces
provided. Answers given without work shown will be counted incorrect. You may use
the backs of the pages if you require some space for scratchwork or brainstorming.
All questions are worth 4 points each unless specied otherwise.

1. If a student has grades of 88 and 84 on Test 1 and Test 2 respectively, what grade
must the student earn on Test 3 to have an average of 90?
2. A graph represents a function if and only if it passes the test.
3. A group of mad scientist otters have a cloning vat which produces otter clones at
a rate of 20 every 5 minutes. Given that there are 20 otters before the machine is
turned on, construct a model which describes the number of otters t minutes after
the machine is initially activated.

4. The mad scientist otters have rened their methods, and now their cloning vat can
double the number of otters contained within it every 5 minutes. Given that they
seed this new vat with 20 otters, construct a model which describes the number of
otters in the cloning vat t minutes after the machine is initially activated.
5. The mad scientist otters have decided that they will use this technology to create
an army of otters. Given the model you constructed in the previous problem, how
long will they need to wait before they have an army of 1000 otters? (You may ask
me for the solution to number 4 if you wish, but your answer to it will be locked in
once you do so.)
