Analytic Geometry Final Exam
(Final Exam for Math 25)
Deadline: Friday of Finals Week (Remember that the ASC closes early on Fridays.)
Material covered: All the material from Units 7, 8, and 9.
This includes
- Unit 7, 8, and 9 material from your textbook:
- 7th edition: Sections 9.1-9.3, and 10.1-10.5
- 8th edition: Sections10.1-10.3, and 11.1-11.5
- 6th edition: Sections10.1-10.3, and 11.1-11.5
- supplementary material on rotation of axes
Format: The exam is an online exam, similar to the unit exams. You will
have two hours to complete the exam, and it counts for 10% of your final grade.
There are 30 questions, each worth 1, 2, or 3 points. The exam is closed book and
closed notes, and you will not be provided with any formulas. You will need
to use your graphing calculator.
At the end of the exam, you will be able to see your score, but you will not be
able to immediately view the individual questions to see which ones you missed. However,
after the deadline date is passed, you will be able to go back and look over your
exam in detail.
Unlike the unit exams, you are only allowed to take the Analytic Geometry Final
Exam twice.
Review material: The chapter reviews are a good way to start reviewing the
material. Reread any sections which seem fuzzy to you. After that, you should do
lots of problems from all of the material covered. Some sources of problems
are:
- Review exercises at the end of each chapter.
Answers are in the back of the book.
- Practice unit exams on the computer. You
may take as many practice exams as you want.
- Homework problems from the various sections.
- Review your old Unit Pretests and Unit Exams.

Remember that you are not only required to learn to solve certain problems, but
you also need to learn the material well enough to solve them in a fixed amount of
time. You don't want to have to spend exam time trying to remember or figure out
how to solve the problems. So practice until you can do the problems quickly and
easily. That way you'll have time to go back and check your work carefully.
Conflicts and Illness: NO EXCEPTIONS will be made for conflicts
with the deadline date. If you have a conflict with the deadline date, be sure to
arrange to take the exam earlier. On the other hand, if you are too ill to take the
exam, contact the instructor as soon as possible to arrange for a makeup (and you
should be prepared to send a note from your doctor in this case).
