NATIONAL TEST IN MATHEMATICS COURSE B SPRING 2002 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 Course B Please note calculators are not allowed in this part. Part II: Calculators, and Formulas for the National Test in Mathematics Course B. 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 17 problems. Part I consists of 9 problems and Part II consists of 8 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 17 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 44 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 distinction-point this is written (2/1). Some problems are marked with , which means that they more than other problems offer opportunities to show knowledge that can be related to the criteria for Pass with Special Distinction. Lower limit for the mark on the test Pass: 12 points Pass with distinction: 26 points of which at least 6 Pass with distinction points. Pass with special distinction: The requirements for Pass with distinction must be well satisfied. Your teacher will also consider how well you solve the -problems.

When Stinas teacher reports the results of a test in mathematics, the teacher writes on the board:

Maximum score: 40p Average score: 25p Median: 21p Number of participating students: 29
Stinas test score is 25. She claims that the number of classmates who have higher scores than she is equal to the number of classmates who have lower scores than she. Decide whether Stinas statement is true or false. Explain why. (0/2)

When assessing your work with problem 17 the teacher will consider the following: How well you calculate and compare the areas of the triangles How well you justify your conclusions How well you describe how the area depends on k How well you present your work How well you use the mathematical language

17.

The lines y = kx + 13 and y = x + 1 intersect at a point in the first quadrant if k is chosen in a suitable way. Then the co-ordinates of the intersection are positive.

Let k = 0 and draw the both lines. Determine the point of intersection between the two lines. The lines y = kx + 13 , y = x + 1 and the y-axis form a triangle when k = 0 . The lines y = kx + 13 , y = x + 1 and the y-axis form another triangle when k = 1 . Calculate and compare the areas of the triangles. The area enclosed by the lines y = kx + 13 , y = x + 1 and the y-axis depends on the value of k. Investigate and describe how the area depends on k, on condition that the lines intersect in the first quadrant. (3/4/)
