    1) The document contains a math test with 6 multiple part questions covering topics like graph sketching, sequences, systems of linear equations, complex numbers, parametric equations, and vectors/geometry. 2) The first question asks students to sketch the graph of y=sin2x from 0 to pi and solve an inequality involving sin2x over the same interval. The second question defines a sequence an=3n^2 and asks students to derive properties of the sequence of differences between terms. 3) The third question gives a system of linear equations with parameters k and lambda and asks students to row reduce the augmented matrix and determine values of k and lambda that give unique, infinite, or no solutions.
