- Use of a calculator or a formula sheet is not allowed.
- You should motivate your solutions. You must give solutions completely in detail, not just answers.
- This test consists of 6 questions.
- The maximum number of points that can be obtained is 100; the score per question is as follows:

Question 1a 1b 1c 2a 2b 2c 3 4a 4b 5a 5b 5c 6
