Directions:

• This is a closed book examination. No Calculator is allowed in this examination.

• DO NOT open the exam until instructed to do so.
• Turn off all phones and pagers, and remove headphones. All electronic devices should be
kept in a bag away from your body.
• Write your name, ID number, and Lecture Section in the space provided above, and also in
the Multiple Choice Item Answer Sheet provided.
• DO NOT use any of your own scratch paper, and do not take any scratch paper away from
the examination venue.
• When instructed to open the exam, please check that you have 10 pages of questions in
addition to the cover page. One blank page attached at the end can be used as scratch paper.
• Answer all questions. Show an appropriate amount of work for each short or long problem.
If you do not show enough work, you will get only partial credit.
• You may write on the backside of the pages, but if you use the backside, clearly indicate that
you have done so.
• Cheating is a serious violation of the HKUST Academic Code. Students caught
cheating will receive a zero score for the examination, and will also be subjected

Some useful formula:

sin(x + y) = sin x cos y + cos x sin y
cos(x + y) = cos x cos y − sin x sin y
tan x + tan y
tan(x + y) =
1 − tan x tan y

Part I: Answer all of the following multiple choice questions.

• Mark your MC answers to the boxes in the Multiple Choice Item Answer Sheet provided.

• Do not forget to write your name and mark your student ID number on the Multiple Choice Item
Answer Sheet.

• Mark only one answer for each MC question. Multiple answers entered for each single MC question
will result in a 3 point deduction.

Write also your MC question answers in the following boxes for back up use only. The
grading will be based on the answers you mark on the MC item answer sheet.
