1 Important information
√
In this test, you can fill in your answer as an algebraic calculation of numbers, for example 10 2 can be
filled in as:
2*5*(2)∧(1/2)
or
2*5*sqrt(2)
or
20*sin(pi/4)
or
14.142
Be sure to use a decimal point not a comma! So fill in 0.333 instead of 0,333 if you want to fill in decimal
number version of 1/3. Your numerical answer is allowed to have a small rounding off error of ±2%
compared to the true answer.
The MapleTA test of this week consists of 19 questions. They are mostly ordered, such that more difficult
questions are towards the end, and thus, the subjects of both weeks are mixed. Nevertheless, use your time
wisely, and don’t get stuck on questions you don’t know how to answer. In this test, Matlab may be used.
For the printed version, three additional comments apply:
• Fill out your name and Student ID at the top of each page of the question sheets. Check whether
you filled in your studentID correctly.
• Answers to multiple choice questions need to be given by encircling the character(s) of the answer(s)
you think is/are correct.
• Answers to numerical questions need to be written on the line directly below the numerical question.
• For numerical questions, sometimes units are required. Do not forget them.
