The graph shows the variation in the average extent of sea ice, in millions of square kilometers, comparing data from the years 1995, 1998, 2000, 2005 and 2007. The data correspond to the months of June to September. The Arctic begins to recover ice when summer ends, in mid-September. Sea ice acts as Earth's cooling system, reflecting almost all sunlight back into space. Dark ocean waters, in turn, absorb sunlight and reinforce Arctic warming, causing increasing melting of ice.
Based on the graph and the information in the text, it is possible to infer that there was greater global warming in
(A) 1995.
(B) 1998.
(C) 2000.
(D) 2005.
(E) 2007.

What relationship between $R$ and $L$ should the technical assistant present so that the safety requirement is met?
(A) $\mathrm{R} \geq L/\sqrt{2}$
(B) $\mathrm{R} \geq 2L/\pi$

Jorge wants to install heaters in his beauty salon to improve the comfort of his clients in winter. He studies the purchase of units of two types of heaters: model A, which consumes $600\mathrm{~g}/\mathrm{h}$ (grams per hour) of propane gas and covers $35\mathrm{~m}^{2}$ of area, or model B, which consumes $750\mathrm{~g}/\mathrm{h}$ of propane gas and covers $45\mathrm{~m}^{2}$ of area.

A laboratory performs tests in which it is possible to observe a person's glucose rate. The results are analyzed according to the following table.
Hypoglycemiaglucose rate less than or equal to $70\mathrm{~mg}/\mathrm{dL}$
Normalglucose rate greater than $70\mathrm{~mg}/\mathrm{dL}$ and less than or equal to $100\mathrm{~mg}/\mathrm{dL}$
Pre-diabetesglucose rate greater than $100\mathrm{~mg}/\mathrm{dL}$ and less than or equal to $125\mathrm{~mg}/\mathrm{dL}$
Diabetes Mellitusglucose rate greater than $125\mathrm{~mg}/\mathrm{dL}$ and less than or equal to $250\mathrm{~mg}/\mathrm{dL}$
Hyperglycemiaglucose rate greater than $250\mathrm{~mg}/\mathrm{dL}$

A patient had a glucose test at this laboratory and confirmed that he had hyperglycemia. His glucose rate was $300\mathrm{~mg}/\mathrm{dL}$. His doctor prescribed a treatment in two stages. In the first stage he managed to reduce his rate by 30\% and in the second stage by 10\%.
When calculating his glucose rate after the two reductions, the patient verified that he was in the category of
(A) hypoglycemia.
(B) normal.
(C) pre-diabetes.
(D) diabetes mellitus.

Ceramics possess the property of shrinkage, which consists of the evaporation of water existing in a ceramic set or block subjected to a certain elevated temperature: in its place appearing ``empty spaces'' that tend to approach each other. In the place previously occupied by water, gaps will remain and, consequently, the set tends to shrink. Consider that in the firing process, clay ceramics undergo a contraction in linear dimensions of 20\%.
Taking into account the firing process and the contraction suffered, the volume V of a clay serving dish, with a cubic shape with edge a, decreases to a value that is
(A) $20\%$ less than V, since the volume of the cube is directly proportional to the length of its side.
(B) $36\%$ less than V, because the area of the base decreases from $\mathrm{a}^{2}$ to $((1-0.2)\mathrm{a})^{2}$.
(C) $48.8\%$ less than V, because the volume decreases from $\mathrm{a}^{3}$ to $(0.8\mathrm{a})^{3}$.
(D) $51.2\%$ less than V, because each side decreases to $80\%$ of the original length.
(E) $60\%$ less than V, because each side decreases by $20\%$.
The Puerta de Europa towers are two towers leaning against each other, built on an avenue in Madrid, Spain. The inclination of the towers is $15^{\circ}$ with the vertical and they each have a height of 114 m (the height is indicated in the figure as segment AB). These towers are a good example of an oblique prism with a square base and one of them can be seen in the image.
Using 0.26 as the approximate value for the tangent of $15^{\circ}$ and two decimal places in operations, one discovers that the base area of this building occupies on the avenue a space
(A) less than $100 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$. (B) between $100 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ and $300 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$. (C) between $300 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ and $500 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$. (D) between $500 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ and $700 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$. (E) greater than $700 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$.
