1. Section 1.1, No. 9 1 f (t) = (2t 1)3/2 = ( 2t 1)3 1 f (1) = =1 ( 2(1) 1)3 1 1 1 = f (5) = = 27 ( 9)3 ( 2(5) 1)3 1 1 1 f (13) = = = 3 3 125 ( 25) ( 2(13) 1)

2. Section 1.1, No. 23 Find the domain of t+2 f (t) = . 9 t2 The domain of f cannot have values that will lead to division by zero or a negative radicand for a radical with an even index. So we need: 9 t2 > 0 (3 t)(3 + t) > 0 3 < t < 3

3. Section 1.1, No. 36

Find the dierence quotient for f (x) = x2 f (x + h) f (x) (x + h)2 x2 = h h 2 x + 2xh + h2 x2 = h h(2x + h) = h = 2x + h

4. Section 1.1, No. 45

Find f (x 1) where f (x) = (x + 1)5 3x2 f (x) = (x + 1)5 3x2 f (x 1) = ((x 1) + 1)5 3(x 1)2 = x5 3x2 + 6x 3 1

5. Section 1.1, No. 57 (Graph on Maple) Given the demand and cost functions, nd a) the revenue and prot functions, and b) the values of x for which production is protable. p = D(x) = 0.02x + 29; (a) R(x) = xD(x) = x(0.02x + 29) = 0.02x2 + 29x P (x) = R(x) C(x) = (0.02x2 + 29x) (1.43x2 + 18.3x + 15.6) = 1.45x2 + 10.7x 15.6 (b) P (x) > 0 when 1.45x2 + 10.7x 15.6 > 0. Using the quadratic formula, the zeros of P (x) are x= 10.7 (10.7)2 (4)(1.45)(15.6) 2(1.45) C(x) = 1.43x2 + 18.3x + 15.6

= 2, 5.38

so P (x) > 0 when 2 < x < 5.38 6. Section 1.2, No. 21 (Graph on Maple) Sketch graph of f (x) = x2 2x + 15.

b = 1 2a b = 16 2a f (x) = x2 2x + 15 = (x + 5)(x 3) f (0) = 15

So the parabola opens downward with vertex at (1, 16), has a yintercept at (0, 15), and xintercepts at (5, 0), (3, 0). The vertex can also be found by completing the square to put the quadratic in the form f (x) = (x h)2 + k. For this case, f (x) = (x + 1)2 + 16. 7. Section 1.2, No. 22 (Graph on Maple) Sketch graph of f (x) = x2 + 2x 8.

b = 1 2a b = 9 2a f (x) = x2 + 2x 8 = (x + 4)(x 2) f (0) = 8

So the parabola opens upward with vertex at (1, 9), has a yintercept at (0, 8), and xintercepts at (4, 0), (2, 0). The vertex can also be found by completing the square to put the quadratic in the form f (x) = (x h)2 + k. For this case, f (x) = (x + 1)2 9. 2

8. Section 1.2, No. 34 (Graph on Maple) Find the point of intersection and graph the equations: 2x 3y = 8 3x 5y = 13 Multiplying the equations by 3 and 2 respectively gives 6x 9y = 24 6x + 10y = 26 Adding the equations eliminates the x variable, giving y = 2, and solving for x yields the solution (1, 2). Intercepts: 2x 3y = 8 : (4, 0), (0, 8/3); 3x 5y = 13 (13/3, 0), (0, 13/5)

9. Section 1.2, No. 39 (Graph on Maple) The variable is p, so we need to nd C(p), R(p), P (p). The given information is that the price is p dollars and at this price the number of units sold monthly is represented by 120 p. C(p) = 40(120 p) (cost per DVR)(number sold) R(p) = p(120 p) (price per DVR)(number sold) P (p) = R(p) C(p) = p(120 p) 40(120 p) = (120 p)(p 40) or p2 + 160p 4800

Setting the function equal to zero give pintercepts of 40 and 120. yintercept is 4800. Axis of symmetry is p = 80, which means optimal selling price is $80, with the expected monthly prot P (80) = $1, 600. 10. Section 1.2, No. 41 (Graph on Maple) The variable is x, so we need to nd C(x), R(x), P (x). The given information is that the price is x dollars and at this price the number of units sold weekly is represented by 5(27 x). C(x) = 15[5(27 x)] (cost per game)(number sold) R(x) = x[5(27 x)] (price per game)(number sold) P (x) = R(x) C(x) = x[5(27 x)] 15[5(27 x)] = 5(27 x)(x 15) or 5x2 + 210x 2025

Setting the function equal to zero give xintercepts of 15 and 27. yintercept is 2025. Axis of symmetry is x = 21, which means optimal selling price is $21, with the expected monthly prot P (21) = $180. The number of games sold at this price would be 5(27x) = 5(27 21) = 30 games. 11. Section 1.3, No. 39 3

(a) Since t = 0 in the year 2000, t = 5 in the year 2005. The given information translates to the points (0, 7853) and (5, 9127). The slope of a line through these points is m= 1274 9127 7853 = = 254.8 50 5

So the equation of the function is D(t) = 254.8t + 7, 853 (b) In the year 2010, t = 10, so the predicted debt is D(10) = 254.8(10)+7853 = $10, 401 (c) We need to nd t where D(t) = 2(7, 853) = 15, 706 254.8t + 7853 = 15, 706 254.8t = 7, 853 t 30.8 So debt will double the amount that it was in 2000 in during the year 2031. 12. Section 1.3, No. 41

(a) Let x be the number of hours spent registering students in person. During the rst 4 hours (4)(35) = 140 students were registered, so 360 140 = 220 students had preregistered. Let y = f (x) be the total numbers of students who register. Then f (x) = 35x + 220. (b) After 3 hours, the number of students who registered is given by f (3) = (35)(3) + 220 = 325. (c) From part (a), we see that 220 students had preregistered. 13. Section 1.3, No. 55

(a) Let t represent years after 1995. Using the points (0, 575) and (5, 545), the slope is m= 545 575 = 6. 50

If S represents the avg. SAT score, then S(t) = 6t + 575. (b) In 2005, t = 10, so S(10) = 6(10) + 575 = 515. (c) 527 = 6t + 575 t = 8, so the year would be 1995 + 8 = 2003.
