Precalculus Semester Exam Review
2013 – 2014
You must show work to receive credit!
 This review covers the major topics in the material that will be tested on the
semester exam. It is not necessarily all inclusive and additional study and
problem solving practice may be required to fully prepare for the semester exam.
 Place answers in the blanks, when provided.
 Use additional paper, if necessary.
 Calculators may be used; however, the semester exam will have non-calculator
portions. Therefore, prudence suggests you prepare with and without a
calculator so you can handle any contingency.
