Midterm 1 Sample

This document appears to be a midterm exam for a calculus class. It contains 6 problems testing skills with indefinite and definite integrals, areas under curves, and properties of integrals. Problem 1 has two parts evaluating areas under a function using rectangles and expressing the exact area as a limit. Problem 2 evaluates 4 indefinite integrals. Problem 3 evaluates 2 definite integrals, one using areas. Problem 4 finds the area of a region bounded by two curves. Problems 5 and 6 contain true/false statements about properties of integrals, asking students to justify their answers. The exam is worth a total of 105 points and allocates varying point values to each part of each problem.
