NATIONAL TEST IN MATHEMATICS COURSE C SPRING 2002 (Syllabus 1994) Directions

Test time Resources 240 minutes for Part I and Part II together. We recommend that you spend no more than 60 minutes on Part I. Part I: Formulas for the National Test in Mathematics Courses C, D and E. Please note calculators are not allowed in this part. Part II: Calculators, and Formulas for the National Test in Mathematics Courses C, D and E. Test material The test material should be handed in together with your solutions. Write your name, the name of your education programme / adult education on all sheets of paper you hand in. Solutions to Part I should be handed in before you retrieve your calculator. You should therefore present your work on Part I on a separate sheet of paper. Please note that you may start your work on Part II without a calculator. The test The test consists of a total of 15 problems. Part I consists of 6 problems and Part II consists of 9 problems. To some problems (where it says Only answer is required) it is enough to give short answers. For the other problems short answers are not enough. They require that you write down what you do, that you explain your train of thought, that you, when necessary, draw figures. When you solve problems graphically/numerically please indicate how you have used your resources. Problem 15 is a larger problem which may take up to an hour to solve completely. It is important that you try to solve this problem. A description of what your teacher will consider when evaluating your work, is attached to the problem. Try all of the problems. It can be relatively easy, even towards the end of the test, to receive some points for partial solutions. A positive evaluation can be given even for unfinished solutions. Score and mark levels The maximum score is 42 points. The maximum number of points you can receive for each solution is indicated after each problem. If a problem can give 2 Pass-points and 1 Pass with distinctionpoint this is written (2/1). Lower limit for the mark on the test Pass: 12 points Pass with distinction: 24 points of which at least 6 Pass with distinction points. Name: Education programme/adult education: School:

Complaints about the school food were received by a high school that had 950 students in years 1-3. The school administration conducted a sample survey where every fourth student on the class list in every class received a questionnaire at home. Of these students, 75 answered that they liked the school food and 55 answered that they didnt like it. 116 students didnt answer the questionnaire. According to the school administration, the survey indicated that the majority of the schools students liked the school food. a) Give a critical comment to the school administrations sample survey. (1/0)

The student council also conducted a sample survey where all the students in nine of the twelve classes in year 3 were asked what they thought of the school food. Of these students, 97 answered that they liked the school food and 124 that they didnt like it. 9 students were absent and werent able to answer the question. According to the student council, the survey indicated that the majority of the schools students didnt like the school food. b) c) Give a critical comment to the student councils sample survey.

In 1960 there were approximately 20 000 grey seals in the Baltic Sea. Due to the high levels of environmental pollutants, the number of seals then decreased dramatically. The decrease was exponential and in 1980 there were only 2 000 grey seals left. a) What was the average yearly percent decrease of the number of grey seals between 1960 and 1980? (0/2)

The seal population has partially recovered since 1980. Today there are approximately 12 000 grey seals in the Baltic Sea. According to a prognosis from the Environmental Protection Agency, the number of grey seals will increase exponentially at a rate of 6.5 % per year for the next few years. b) In what year will the number of grey seals again reach 20 000 if the prognosis holds true?

When assessing your work with problem 15 the teacher will consider the following: How well you argue your conclusions How well you use mathematical vocabulary and symbols How well you carry out your calculations How well you draw figures as well as how well you account for and annotate your work 15.

The following question involves five different glass vases. All of the vases are 20 cm tall and hold 5.6 dl. One cylindrical glass vase is filled with water similar to the figure below. The height of the water surface h cm over the vases bottom is a function of the volume of water x dl that has run down into the vase.

Choose two values for volume x and read from the figure the corresponding values for the height of the water surface h. h Calculate the rate of change quotient for the read values. x Explain with words what this rate of change quotient means.

NpMaC vt 2002

In the figures below you can see how water is filled into three other glass vases. The height of the water surface h cm is a function of the volume of water x dl which has run down into a vase.

Here are four graphs that have been drawn. They show the graphs to the derivative h(x) for each one of the glass vases from the two previous pages.

Pair together the graphs A, B, C and D with corresponding vases 1, 2, 3 and 4. Motivate for each pair why the vase belongs together with the graph.

In the figure below, the graph for the derivative h ( x) is shown for a fifth glass vase.
