CHAPTER TEST: Ch 2 Rate of Change and Differentials MATHEMATICS COURSE C Fall 2009: MaCNVC08 Part II: VG/MVG-level Warning: There are more than one versions of the test. Instructions Test period Tools The test 11:35-12:50 Formula sheet, ruler and graphic calculator. For most 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. After every item is given the maximum mark your solution can receive. [2/3] means that the item can give 2 g-points (Pass level) and 3 vg-points (Pass with distinction level). Items marked with give you a possibility to show MVG-quality (Pass with special distinction quality). This means that you use generalised methods, models and reasoning, that you analyse your results and account for a clear line of thought in a correct mathematical language. 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. Mark limits The test gives totally at the most 26 points, out of which 21 vg-points and 3 MVG-pints. To pass the test you must have at least 9 points. To qualify for higher grade you need to have a score more than 27 points in the G-test. To get the test character Pass with distinction (VG) you must have at least 17 points. Pass with distinction level Excellence (MVG) requires at least 20 points out of which at least 14 VG points and excellent quality presentation of the solutions . Class-School: NVC08 Sjdalsgymnasiet

When evaluating your work, in problems 3-5 I will take into consideration: how well you perform your investigation. how relevant, clear and complete your solutions are. how generalized your solutions are. if your calculations are correct. how well you analyze and evaluate your results. 3. Atmospheric pressure P( x ) mBar as a function of x km above the sea level, decreases according P( x ) = 1013 e 0.145 x mBar a. At what height the atmospheric pressure is 600. mBar ? [1/1] b. Find P (4.00 ) . What does P (4.00 ) mean? [1/2] c. At what height above the sea level does the atmospheric pressure decreases at the rate of 50.0 mbar / km ? [0/2/] Suggested Solution:

a. Answer: The atmospheric pressure is 600. mBar at the height x 3.61 km above the sea level.
P (x ) = 1013 e 0.145 x mBar
600 = 1013 e 0.145 x 1013 e 0.145 x = 600 600 e 0.145 x = = 0.5923 ln (e 0.145 x ) = ln(0.5923) 1013 0.145 x ln (e ) = ln (0.5923) ln (e ) = 1 , and log(a k ) = k log(k ) are used

ln(0.5923) km = 3.612 km Answer: x 3.61 km [0/1] 0.145 b. Answer: P (4.00) 82.2 mBar / km .This means that the atmospheric pressure decreases at the rate of 82.2 mBar / km at 4.00 km above the sea level. [0/1] P( x ) = 1013 e 0.145 x mBar P( x ) = 1013 ( 0.145) e 0.145 x mBar / km f ( x ) = A e k x f ( x ) = A k e k x is used P( x ) = 146.89 e 0.145 x mBar / km [1/0] 0.145( 4.00 ) P(4.00) = 146.89 e mBar / km 82.2 mBar / km [0/1] x=
c. Answer: At x = 7.43 km above the sea level the atmospheric pressure change at the rate of 50.0 mbar / km . P( x ) = 146.89 e 0.145 x mBar / km 146.89 e 0.145 x mBar / km = 50.0 mBar / km 50 e 0.145 x = mBar / km = 0.3404 mBar / km [0/1] 146.89 ln e 0.145 x = ln(0.3404)
