This set of 28 questions, taken from prior examinations, covers topics in Chapters 6, 7, and 9.

The purpose of sample multiple choice questions is to acquaint you with the style and substance of typical exam questions on this material.

Please be aware that:

1. multiple choice format questions are only one of many resources available to prepare for testing events – reading textbook chapters and working through chapter examples, studying the end-of-chapter review problem and accompanying solution, and reviewing assigned homework items and the published solutions may be more powerful methods to increase your understanding of the topics covered in the course.

2. the exam questions used this quarter will be similar but different from these example questions – understanding the main concepts in each chapter is critical to success on the testing events; remembering a sample question may be of some help but the format of questions on the same topic often differs rendering memory a distant second choice to understanding.
