Finite Math Final Exam

Directions:
This is a 25 question test covering material from chapters 1-8. Each question is worth 4 points. You should be able to complete the test within 90 minutes. You may continue taking the test after the timer has reached 0, but take note that on the real final you would have to turn the test in as is. Once you submit the test it will automatically be graded for you and an instructional video explaining how each problem is done in detail will be provided. Hit the start button when you are ready. Good luck.
