EXERCISE SET 1.

  1. (a) around 1943 (b) 1960; (c) no;you need the year’s population (d) war;marketing techniques (e) news of health risk;social pressure, antismoking campaigns, increased taxation

  6. (a) x = 9 (b) none (c) x ≥ 25 (d) ymin = 1;no maximum value

  8. (a) Yes, if the thermometer is not near a window or door or other source of sudden temperature change. (b) No;the number is always an integer, so the changes are in movements (jumps) of at least one unit.
  9. (a) The side adjacent to the building has length x, so L = x + 2y. Since A = xy = 1000, L = x + 2000/x. (b) x > 0 and x must be smaller than the width of the building, which was not given. (c) 120

  1. (a) V = 500 = πr^2 h so h =

πr^2

. Then

C = (0.02)(2)πr^2 + (0.01)2πrh = 0. 04 πr^2 + 0. 02 πr

πr^2 = 0. 04 πr^2 +

(b) C = (0.02)(2)(2r)^2 + (0.01)2πrh = 0. 16 r^2 +

. Since

  1. 04 π < 0 .16, the top and bottom now get more weight. Since they cost more, we diminish their sizes in the solution, and the cans become taller.

(c) r ≈ 3 .1 cm, h ≈ 16 .0 cm, C ≈ 4 .76 cents

  1. (a) The length of a track with straightaways of length L and semicircles of radius r is P = (2)L + (2)(πr) ft. Let L = 360 and r = 80 to get P = 720 + 160π = 1222.65 ft. Since this is less than 1320 ft (a quarter-mile), a solution is possible. (b) P = 2L + 2πr = 1320 and 2r = 2x + 160, so L = 12 (1320 − 2 πr) = 12 (1320 − 2 π(80 + x)) = 660 − 80 π − πx.

(c) The shortest straightaway is L = 360, so x = 15.49 ft. (d) The longest straightaway occurs when x = 0, so L = 660 − 80 π = 408.67 ft.

EXERCISE SET 1.

  1. (a) f (0) = 3(0)^2 −2 = −2; f (2) = 3(2)^2 −2 = 10; f (−2) = 3(−2)^2 −2 = 10; f (3) = 3(3)^2 −2 = 25; f (

2)^2 − 2 = 4; f (3t) = 3(3t)^2 − 2 = 27t^2 − 2 (b) f (0) = 2(0) = 0; f (2) = 2(2) = 4; f (−2) = 2(−2) = −4; f (3) = 2(3) = 6; f (

f (3t) = 1/ 3 t for t > 1 and f (3t) = 6t for t ≤ 1.

  1. (a) g(3) =

g(t^2 − 1) =

t^2 − 1 + 1 t^2 − 1 − 1

t^2 t^2 − 2 (b) g(3) =

3 + 1 = 2; g(−1) = 3; g(π) =

π + 1; g(− 1 .1) = 3; g(t^2 − 1) = 3 if t^2 < 2 and g(t^2 − 1) =

t^2 − 1 + 1 = |t| if t^2 ≥ 2.

  1. (a) x = 3 (b) x ≤ −

3 or x ≥

(c) x^2 − 2 x + 5 = 0 has no real solutions so x^2 − 2 x + 5 is always positive or always negative. If x = 0, then x^2 − 2 x + 5 = 5 > 0;domain: ( −∞, +∞). (d) x = 0 (e) sin x = 1, so x = (2n + 12 )π, n = 0, ± 1 , ± 2 ,...

  1. (a) V = (8 − 2 x)(15 − 2 x)x (b) −∞ < x < +∞, −∞ < V < +∞ (c) 0 < x < 4

(d) minimum value at x = 0 or at x = 4;maximum value somewhere in between (can be approximated by zooming with graphing calculator)

  1. (a) x = 3000 tan θ (b) θ = nπ + π/2 for n an integer, −∞ < n < ∞

  1. (i) x = 1, −2 causes division by zero (ii) g(x) = x + 1, all x
  2. (i) x = 0 causes division by zero (ii) g(x) =

x + 1 for x ≥ 0

  1. (a) 25 ◦F (b) 2 ◦F (c) − 15 ◦F
  2. If v = 48 then −60 = WCI = 1. 6 T − 55;thus T = (−60 + 55)/ 1. 6 ≈ − 3 ◦F.
  3. If v = 8 then −10 = WCI = 91.4 + (91. 4 − T )(0.0203(8) − 0. 304

8 − 0 .474);thus T = 91.4 + (10 + 91.4)/(0.0203(8) − 0. 304

8 − 0 .474) and T = 5◦F

  1. The WCI is given by three formulae, but the first and third don’t work with the data. Hence −15 = WCI = 91.4 + (91. 4 − 20)(0. 0203 v − 0. 304

v − 0 .474);set x =

v so that v = x^2 and obtain 0. 0203 x^2 − 0. 304 x − 0 .474 + (15 + 91.4)/(91. 4 − 20) = 0. Use the quadratic formula to find the two roots. Square them to get v and discard the spurious solution, leaving v ≈ 25.

  1. Let t denote time in minutes after 9:23 AM. Then D(t) = 1000 − 20 t ft.

  1. The portions of the graph of y = f (x) which lie below the x-axis are reflected over the x-axis to give the graph of y = |f (x)|.
  2. Erase the portion of the graph of y = f (x) which lies in the left-half plane and replace it with the reflection over the y-axis of the portion in the right-half plane (symmetry over the y-axis) and you obtain the graph of y = f (|x|).

(b) Yes;there are two pairs of equal slopes, so two pairs of parallel lines.

  1. III < II < IV < I 4. III < IV < I < II
  2. (a)

= 2. Since the slopes connecting all pairs of points are equal, they lie on a line.

(b)

. Since the slopes connecting the pairs of points are not equal, the points do not lie on a line.

  1. The slope, m = −2, is obtained from

y − 5 x − 7

, and thus y − 5 = −2(x − 7).

(a) If x = 9 then y = 1. (b) If y = 12 then x = 7/2.

  1. The slope, m = 3, is equal to

y − 2 x − 1

, and thus y − 2 = 3(x − 1).

(a) If x = 5 then y = 14. (b) If y = −2 then x = − 1 /3.

  1. (a) Compute the slopes:

y − 0 x − 0

or y = x/2. Also

y − 5 x − 7

= 2 or y = 2x − 9. Solve simultaneously to obtain x = 6, y = 3.

  1. (a) The first slope is

1 − x and the second is

4 − x

. Since they are negatives of each other we

get 2(4 − x) = −5(1 − x) or 7x = 13, x = 13/7.

  1. (a) The velocity is the slope, which is

= 9/10 ft/s.

(b) x = − 4 (c) The line has slope 9/10 and passes through (0, −4), so has equation x = 9t/ 10 − 4;at t = 2, x = − 2 .2. (d) t = 80/ 9

  1. (a) v =

= 2 m/s (b) x − 1 = 2(t − 2) or x = 2t − 3 (c) x = − 3

  1. (a) The acceleration is the slope of the velocity, so a =

ft/s^2.

(b) v − 3 = − 43 (t − 1), or v = − 43 t + 133 (c) v = 133 ft/s

  1. (a) The acceleration is the slope of the velocity, so a =

ft/s^2.

(b) v = 5 ft/s (c) v = 4 ft/s (d) t = 4 s

  1. (a) It moves (to the left) 6 units with velocity v = −3 cm/s, then remains motionless for 5 s, then moves 3 units to the left with velocity v = −1 cm/s.

(b) vave =

cm/s

(c) Since the motion is in one direction only, the speed is the negative of the velocity, so save = 109 cm/s.

  1. It moves right with constant velocity v = 5 km/h;then accelerates;then moves with constant, though increased, velocity again;then slows down.
  2. (a) If x 1 denotes the final position and x 0 the initial position, then v = (x 1 − x 0 )/(t 1 − t 0 ) = 0 mi/h, since x 1 = x 0. (b) If the distance traveled in one direction is d, then the outward journey took t = d/40 h. Thus save =

2 d t + (2/3)t

80 t t + (2/3)t

= 48 mi/h.

(c) t + (2/3)t = 5, so t = 3 and 2d = 80t = 240 mi round trip

(c) y = 3k = 3/5 so 0.6 ft. (d) ymax = (1/2)3 = 1.5 so solve 1.5 = x/5 for x = 7.5 tons

  1. Each increment of 1 in the value of x yields the increment of 1.2 for y, so the relationship is linear. If y = mx + b then m = 1.2;from x = 0, y = 2, follows b = 2, so y = 1. 2 x + 2
  2. Each increment of 1 in the value of x yields the increment of − 2 .1 for y, so the relationship is linear. If y = mx + b then m = − 2 .1;from x = 0, y = 10.5 follows b = 10.5, so y = − 2. 1 x + 10. 5
  3. (a) With TF as independent variable, we have

  1. (a) One degree Celsius is one degree Kelvin, so the slope is the ratio 1/1 = 1. Thus TC = TK − 273 .15. (b) TC = 0 − 273 .15 = − 273. 15 ◦^ C

  1. (a) Let the position at rest be y 0. Then y 0 + y = y 0 + kx;with x = 11 we get y 0 + kx = y 0 + 11k = 40, and with x = 24 we get y 0 + kx = y 0 + 24k = 60. Solve to get k = 20/13 and y 0 = 300/13. (b) 300 /13 + (20/13)W = 30, so W = (390 − 300)/20 = 9/2 g.
