Quiz #3 and answer key
06/08 Watch out! There was a typo on Workshop #3. I have fixed it and
re-uploaded the file. In problem #3, the limit as x approaches 2
originally had "x^3+x^2-5x+2" in the numerator of the fraction,
it should have "x^3+x^2-5x-2" instead.
Workshop #2 grades are posted on AsULearn.
