(A) $T = 1.59 + F$
(B) $F = 1.59 + T$
(C) $\dfrac{T}{F} = 1.59$
(D) $\dfrac{F}{T} = 1.59$
(E) $F \cdot T = 1.59$
A parking lot has 120 spaces for vehicles, and all these spaces are occupied. Each customer pays a monthly fee to use a space, which is calculated based on the parking lot's monthly expenses and the desired profit. The parking lot's monthly expenses are: R\$14,240.00 for maintenance plus R\$36.00 insurance per vehicle. The parking lot's profit is determined by the difference between the amount collected from monthly fees and the expenses incurred. Starting the following month, the insurance value per vehicle will increase by 20\%, and maintenance expenses will remain unchanged. With this, the parking lot owner will adjust the monthly fees to obtain a monthly profit of R\$10,000.00. Despite this adjustment, all spaces will remain occupied.
The value, in reais, of the adjusted monthly fee will be
(A) 185.60.
(B) 226.09.

The owner of a boat must depart from point $P$ and arrive at point $R$ by means of two linear displacements and navigating at a constant speed. This trip will be made during the night, and since he has only a compass and a clock, he planned his route as follows: $1^{\text{st}}$ - depart from point $P$ in direction 110 and navigate for 4 hours, reaching a point $Q$; $2^{\text{nd}}$ - depart from point $Q$ in direction 90 and navigate for 2 hours, reaching the destination point $R$.
However, when directing the boat for the first displacement, he did so in direction 340, instead of 110. With this, he made the following displacements: $1^{\text{st}}$ - departed from point $P$ in direction 340 and navigated for 4 hours, reaching a point $S$; $2^{\text{nd}}$ - departed from point $S$ in direction 90 and navigated for 2 hours, reaching point $T$.
The boat owner only realized the mistake upon arriving at point $T$. With this, he now needs to define the direction and navigation time that will allow him, departing from point $T$, to reach the destination point $R$ through a straight route.
Consider 0.64 as an approximation for $\cos 50°$. The direction and approximate navigation time that the boat owner should use are, respectively,
(A) 135 and 7 hours and 15 minutes.
(B) 45 and 7 hours and 15 minutes.
(C) 135 and 12 hours.
(D) 135 and 6 hours.
(E) 45 and 6 hours.
A container has a shape such that, when filled with water at a constant flow rate, the distance $D$ from the water surface to the table top, in centimeter, increases in relation to time $T$, in minute, according to a function of the type $$D = k + \operatorname{tg}[p(T + m)],$$ where the parameters $k$, $p$, and $m$ are real numbers, for $T$ varying from 0 to 4 minutes, as illustrated in the figure, in which the vertical asymptotes of the tangent function used in the definition of $D$ are presented.
The algebraic expression that represents the relationship between $D$ and $T$ is
(A) $D = 2.5 + \operatorname{tg}\left[30\left(T - \dfrac{5 - 2\pi}{2}\right)\right]$
(B) $D = 4 + \operatorname{tg}\left[30\left(T + \dfrac{5}{2}\right)\right]$
(C) $D = 4 + \operatorname{tg}\left[2.5\left(T + \dfrac{5 + 2\pi}{2}\right)\right]$
(D) $D = 30 + \operatorname{tg}\left[\dfrac{1}{2}(T - 5)\right]$
(E) $D = 30 + \operatorname{tg}\left[\dfrac{1}{2}\left(T - \dfrac{5}{2}\right)\right]$

A person has a biofuel car, which runs on natural gas vehicle (NGV) and gasoline. The performance of the car, measured in km/m$^3$, in the case of gas, or measured in km/L, in the case of gasoline, depends, among other factors, on the speed, in km/h, at which the car travels. This relationship is in accordance with the graphs.
During a holiday, this person took a 240 km trip. To obtain an estimate of fuel consumption, assume that throughout the journey a constant speed of $60\,\mathrm{km/h}$ was maintained. Consider that, during half of the journey, only NGV was used and, in the other half, only gasoline. What was paid per cubic meter of NGV and per liter of gasoline corresponded, respectively, to R\$ 2.00 and R\$ 3.00.
What was the difference, in reais, between the total expenses with gasoline and with NGV?

A flush tank, attached to a toilet, has the shape of a right rectangular parallelepiped whose internal base dimensions are $2.5\,\mathrm{dm}$ and $1.5\,\mathrm{dm}$. In this tank there is a float that interrupts the supply when the height of the water column reaches 2 dm.
Each time the flush is activated, all the volume of water contained in the tank is poured into the toilet. To reduce the volume of water poured each time the flush is activated, a person will place, inside this tank, 300 mL bottles filled with sand and capped, so that they remain submerged when the supply is interrupted.
To guarantee efficient operation, the minimum amount of water poured each time the flush is activated should be 5 L.
The maximum number of bottles that will be placed in this tank, guaranteeing efficient operation, is equal to

A pastry chef started producing cakes in the shape of a right circular cylinder, with the radius of the base varying between 12 cm and 16 cm and height of 6 cm. These cakes should be packaged in boxes with the shape of a right prism with a square base, so that it is possible to accommodate the cake inside and still have at least 1 cm of distance remaining between the cake and the internal surfaces of the box, lateral and upper. He originally has boxes in the intended format, whose internal dimensions are 14 cm for the length of the side of the base and 7 cm in height, which do not meet his needs. Therefore, he will buy new boxes, with the same format as the original boxes, but with a larger length of the side of the base, that are suitable for packaging all types of cakes he produces.
The edge of the base of the new boxes should be, at minimum, how many centimeters larger than that of the original boxes?
(A) 4
(B) 12
(C) 16
(D) 18
(E) 20
Suppose $A$ is an $m \times n$ matrix, $V$ an $m \times 1$ matrix, with both $A$ and $V$ having rational entries. If the equation $A X = V$ has a solution in $\mathbb{R}^n$, then the equation has a solution with rational entries. (Here and in Question 5 below of Part $\mathrm{A}$, $\mathbb{R}^n$ is identified with the space of $n \times 1$ real matrices.)
