This is two quizzes printed as one. You are in charge, but, it is hoped that you will complete as much of the quiz as possible MENTALLY. For longer problems, use pencil and paper. Since it is also important to learn to use a GRAPHING CALCULATOR, please redo some problems with the graphing calculator since computation "feels different" on this than with pencil and paper.

    Use your Computer's Calculator or the Functions and Operations page, to complete whatever you do not do mentally.
