INSTRUCTION: Select the correct answer for each of the following
questions. Mark only one answer for each item by shading the box
corresponding to the letter of your choice on the answer sheet provided.
STRICTLY NO ERASURES ALLOWED. GOOD LUCK.
NOTE: A times B is represented by A×B or A*B. A raised to the power n
is expressed as A^n. All problems are 1 point each.
