Instructions

Test period 90 minutes for Part I and Part II as a whole. We recommend that you do not
use more than 30 minutes on the first part. Manage your time properly and
according to the weight of the problem.

Resources Graphic calculator (only part II), formula sheet, your personalised formula
booklet, ruler, protractor, and a lexicon.

The test For all items a single answer is not enough. It is also expected
that you write down what you do
that you explain/motivate your reasoning
that you draw any necessary illustrations.
There are G-level alternatives to some VG-level problems. In case you are
not able to solve the VG-problem, try to solve the alternative G-level
problem. You are not going to get credit for both the problem and its
alternative. Therefore, if you are sure about your solutions to the VG-level
problem, do not waste your time in solving its G-alternative.
Score and The maximum score is 37 points, of them 16 VG points. There are 3 -
marked problems
G: At least 12 points
VG: At least 21 points including at least 6 Vg points
MVG: At least 23 points including at least 12 Vg points, and 3 different
MVG qualities are demonstrated.

In each case, show how you arrived at your answer by clearly indicating all of the necessary
steps, formula substitutions, diagrams, graphs, charts, units, significant figures. etc. Do not
forget to specify Units. Give attention to significant figures. In none of problems
measurement from the figure is valid.

Part II
This part consists of 6 problems (note that there are 3G-level alternatives to 3 VG-level
problems (and one MVG-level problem) . You may use a calculator when solving them.
The problem 15 is heavily graded and is of greatest importance.
Please note that you may begin working on part II without a calculator.

When evaluating your work in solving problems 13 and 14, your teacher will take into
consideration:
What mathematical knowledge you present
How well you carry out your calculations
How well you investigate and describe the strategies
How well you present and comment on your work
14. For which value of the constant c , the curve
c x x y + + = 6
