NOV 2018 CE BOARD EXAM CHUA Your scores are reflection of a choice of preparation (Materials and Strategy) you have made. if you want-a different result, MAKE A DIFFERENT CHOICE. Mathematics, Surveying and Transportation Engineering Part 1 of 2 1. (Algebra) certain isotope 14€ of carbon occurs in living organisms in a fixed proportion to ordinary carbon. ‘When that organism dies, its 14C decays exponentially, and its half life is5730 years. Assume that a piece of charcoal from a wood fire was found in cave and contains only 9% of the 14C expected in a corresponding piece of wood in alive tree. How long ago was the wood burned to form that charcoal? 2, (Geometry) A farmer owned a square field measuring exactly 2261 yards oneach side. 1898 yards from one corner and 1009-yards from an adjacent corner stood a beech tree. Aneighbor offered to purchase a triangular portion of the field stipulating that a fence should be erected in a straight line from one side of the field to an adjacent side so that the berch tree was part of the fence, ‘The farmer accepted the offer butmade sure that the ‘wiangular portion was of minimum area. What was the area of the field the neighbor received. and how Tong was the fence? 3. (Trigonometry) The number of hours of daylight D (¢) at a particular time of the year can be by D(j=Xsin 2% (t-79)] +12 For t im days and t=0 corresponding to January 1. ‘The constant K determines the total variation in day length and depends on the latitude of the locale. When isthe day the longest assuming its nota Jeap year?4 (Algebra) 5. Algebra) 6. (Algebra) 7. (algebra) & (Algebra) A meteorologist is inflating a spherical balloon with helium gas. If the radius of the balloon is changing at arate of LS em/sec, Express the volume V of the balloon as a function of time t (in seconds). On the Richter scale, the magnitude R. of an earthquake of intensity lis given by Relog- where Iy is the intensity of a barely felt zero-level earthquake. Ifthe intensity of an earthquake is 1000 I. What is its magnitude on the Richter seale? A freely falling body starting from rest falls 16 ft. during 1 second, 48 ft. during 2"4 second 80 ft. during 3** second, Calculate the distance it falls during 15% second. The speed of a ranger boat in still wateris 9 kph. If the boat travels kph upstream in the same time that it takes to travel 15kph miles: downstream, Find the current of the stream. Determine the percent uncertainty in the area of a square that is 6.08 + 0.01 mona side.9. (Algebra) 10. (algebra) 11. (Algebra) 12, (Algebra) Each plane can carry no more than 80 000 pounds. The bottled water weighs 20 pounds per container and each medical kit weigh 10 pounds. Let x represent the number of bottles of water to be shipped and y the number of medical kits. Write an inequality that models this constraint. Acontractor has 50men of the same capacity at work onajob. They can complete the job in 30 days, the working day being 8 hours, but the contract expires in 20 days. He decided to put 20 additional men. How many days could he finish the job? Shureka has scores of 72, 67, 82 and 79. on ‘her algebra test. To pass the course with an average of 77 or higher, Use an inequality to find the scores she must make on the final exam given that the final exam counts as two tests.
