Q & A

What is the main focus of the entrance examination as described in the script?

The entrance examination focuses on evaluating knowledge in the main mathematical models used in natural science, mathematics, and applied mathematics. It consists of a series of tasks that test various mathematical concepts, including equations, trigonometry, geometry, and calculus.

How is the entrance examination structured?

The entrance examination consists of individual tickets, each containing 11 tasks. The first five tasks involve multiple-choice questions with one correct answer, while tasks six to eleven are open-ended questions requiring the applicant to provide answers in a given format. The maximum score per ticket is 100 points, with a time limit of 60 minutes.

What key topics should applicants review before the entrance examination?

Applicants should review equations and inequalities, trigonometric formulas and angle values, elementary derivatives, basic geometry and stereometry formulas, and methods for finding areas and volumes of various figures.

What method is suggested for solving problems involving the sum of the coordinates of the vertex of a parabola?

To solve this problem, applicants should use the formula for finding the vertex of a parabola, where the x-coordinate of the vertex is calculated as -B/2A, and the y-coordinate is found by substituting the x-coordinate into the original equation.

How should applicants approach problems where figures are not initially drawn, but given by points?

Applicants should first construct the figure using the given points before proceeding to solve the problem. This step is crucial for accurately calculating areas and solving related questions.

What strategy is recommended for solving systems of equations in the examination?

A recommended strategy is to add or subtract equations to eliminate variables, then substitute the found values into the remaining equations to solve for the unknowns. Finally, sum the solutions as required by the problem.

What is the approach for solving logarithmic equations in the entrance exam?

Applicants should first define the domain of admissible values (ODZ), then solve the equation by manipulating logarithmic expressions, often involving modular arithmetic. It’s important to check if the found solutions fall within the defined domain.

How is the area of a trapezoid calculated when given a rectangle and two right triangles?

The area of the trapezoid is found by subtracting the areas of the two right triangles from the area of the rectangle. The area of each triangle is calculated as half the product of the lengths of the legs, which can be determined by counting the cells in the figure.

What role do trigonometric formulas play in the entrance exam?

Trigonometric formulas, such as the sum-to-product identities and values of sine and cosine for common angles, are essential for solving various problems in the exam, including those involving angles, trigonometric equations, and transformations.

What mathematical concepts are essential for solving geometry problems related to circles and parallelepipeds?

For circle-related problems, applicants should be familiar with properties of tangents and angles in a circle. For parallelepiped problems, knowledge of projections, angles between faces, and volume calculation formulas is necessary.
