The instructions and problems for exam 2 of math 115, focusing on limits and functions. Students are required to remove hats, place book bags inaccessibly, and turn off cell phones and calculators during the exam. The exam consists of several limit problems, where students are asked to determine the function, evaluate the limit using a sequence, and identify the property that allows arbitrary sequence choice. The document also includes problems involving function graphs, inverse functions, and solving equations.
