Preliminary Exam in College Algebra

1. The document provides a preliminary exam in college algebra with 25 problems to solve involving concepts like sets, operations on algebraic expressions, and factoring polynomials. 2. For the first 5 problems, students are asked to determine whether sets are finite or infinite and identify equivalent and equal sets. 3. Problems 6-10 involve set operations like unions, intersections, and complements to find the elements in resulting sets. 4. The remaining problems involve algebraic skills like distributing, combining like terms, factoring, and long division of polynomials.
