Examination
2 These are the rst eight numbers of the Fibonacci-sequence:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ... Beginning with the third number each Fibonacci
number is the sum of the two predecessors.
State the 10th number of that sequence.

You have 60 minutes to answer the 25 questions. a) 40 b) 44 c) 55 d) 54 e) 49

Accuracy and speed are important.
Hence you should try not to deal too long with a single question, skip it and try to
answer it in the end if you have time left.
Only one single answer is correct. If several answers are checked that assignment 3 Which solid is generated if the triangle
will be counted as wrong. For each incorrect answer a fourth of the gainable score rotates around the x-axis?
will be deducted. So it is better not to answer at all than to check a wrong answer.
Therefore dont guess, calculate! a) pyramid b) cone c) cube
The answer sheet must not be folded or crinkled. Notes or comments outside of d) sphere e) cylinder

There are no aides of any kind (calculator, formulary etc.) allowed.

5 The following picture shows a part of a parallelogram ABCD. 7 Hendrik tries to solve the following equation step by step.
The coordinates of the points B, C and D can you read from the picture.
What are the coordinates of A? (x + 1)2 (x 1) (x + 1) = 4
x2 + 2x + 1 (x2 1) = 4
x2 + 2x + 1 x2 1 = 4
2x = 4
x=2

The right answer would have been x=1. What is Hendriks mistake?

a) He wrongly applies the rst Binomial formula

b) He wrongly applies the third Binomial formula
c) He does not dissolve all bracket correctly
d) He divides wrongly
e) He mixes up dierent Binomial formulas

a) A(1| 4) b) A(4| 1) c) A(4| 2) d) A(2| 4) e) A(3| 3)
