    Exercise 1. 4 P.
    Each of the following sequences follows a certain rule. Try to identify this rule, determine which
    number would follow next, and give this number.
    1. 13 17 21 25 29 33 ?
    2. 1 2 5 10 17 26 ?
    3. 1 4 9 16 25 36 ?
    4. 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 ?

    Exercise 2. 3 P.
    For each of the following equations, give all solutions for x.
    1. 32(x − 81 ) = 60
    2. x2 − 4x + 3 = 0
    3. log2 (3x2 − 11) = 6

    Exercise 3. 2 P.
    h i− 32
    1 −3
    
    Write the following term without exponents and simplify as far as possible: 5 − 89

    Exercise 4. 2 P.
    2
    3ab 3b
    Simplify the following term + 2
    ab − b2 b − ab
    Exercise 5. 2 P.
    Consider the following sets:

    M1 = {2, 3, 5} M2 = {2, 4, 6, 7}
    M3 = {0, 1, 3, 7, 8} M4 = {4, 5, 9, 10, 11}

    Compute ((M1 ∩ M3 ) ∪ M2 ) \ M4 .

    Hint: A ∩ B is the set that contains all elements that are in A and in B, A ∪ B is the set of all elements
    that are in A or in B, A \ B stands for all elements of A without the elements of B.

    Exercise 6. 2 P.
    Computers use the binary system to represent numbers. For example: 1011 in binary is 1 · 23 +
    0 · 22 + 1 · 21 + 1 · 20 . How can you quickly check if a binary number is even? Why does it work?

    Exercise 7. 2 P.
    Consider a pond with water lilies. Assume that the water lilies grow fast and double every day.
    Assume that after four days the pond is half covered with water lilies. After how many days is
    the pond entirely covered with water lilies?

    Exercise 8. 6 P.
    1
    Let the function f be given as f (x) = 2e 2x − 1.
    1. Derive all x such that f (x) = 0. (2P)
    2. Consider the tangent t of f at x = 0. The point (0, 0) and the intersection points of t with
    the x-axis and the y-axis form a triangle. Show that this triangle is isosceles (that is, at
    least two of the three sides of the triangle have the same length). (4P)

    Exercise 9. 4 P.
    1. Give a criterion for a function f (x) to be axisymmetric to the y-axis.
    2. Give a function that is axisymmetric to the y-axis.
    3. Is there a function of x that is axisymmetric to the x-axis? If so, give an example, if not,
    justify your answer.

    4. Give a function f (x) that is non-constant and for which holds 0 f (x) dx = 0

    Exercise 10. 3 P.
    Consider a triangle with side lengths a, b, c and interior angles α, β, γ. Assume a = 3, c = 6,
    γ = 90, where c is the longest side of the triangle and γ the angle opposed to c. Compute b, α, β.

    Exercise 11. 4 P.
    Assume you have a (infinitely thin) wooden panel that is 1.20 m wide and 2 m long. You want to
    transport the panel through a window that is 1 m high and less than 1 m wide.
    1. What is the minimum width of the window for the panel to fit through?
    2. Assume the width of the window is as calculated in 1. Also assume that the panel lies flat
    on the floor. How many degrees do you have to tilt the panel so that it fits through the
    window?

    Exercise 12. 4 P.
    R1 √
    Determine −1 1 − x2 dx. Specify the solution as a multiple of π. Hint: It is not necessary to
    compute the integral.

    Exercise 13. 4 P.
    Consider the equation f (x) = x2 + px + q and assume that there exist two numbers x1 and x2 for
    which f (x1 ) = f (x2 ) = 0. Show that −p = x1 + x2 and q = x1 · x2 . Hint: Consider representing
    x2 + px + q as (x − a)(x − b) for some a and b.
