Answer the following questions to the best of your ability. You will receive a grade for completing this page but your score will only be used for information about what you may have learned from playing the game. Incomplete papers will earn a grade that reflects the degree of incompleteness. Complete papers will receive a 100. You may use a calculator. All necessary formulas and constants have been provided. Show all work!
