  1. [20] In each problem, which is bigger? Circle “a” if (a) is bigger. Circle “b” if (b) is bigger. Circle “c” if both are equal.

(1) [2] (a) 5^50 · 550 ; (b) 5^100.

Solution: 550 ·^550 = 550+50^ = 5^100. (1) a. b. c. (2) [2] (a) 1 ; (b) 5

1 (^5).

Solution: The exponential function 5x^ is increasing since the base 5 is greater than 1. Thus 5

(^15)

50 = 1. (2) a. b. c. (3) [2] (a) 5−^1 ; (b) e−^1.

Solution: Since 5 > e, 5−^1 < e−^1. (3) a. b. c. (4) [2] (a) 5

(^25) ; (b) 5

2

Solution: 5

2 55 = 5

(4) a. b. c. (5) [2] (a) 1 ; (b) ( 15 )^0.

Solution: ( 15 )^0 = 1. (5) a. b. c. (6) [2] (a) ln 1 ; (b) 0.

Solution: ln 1 = 0. (6) a. b. c. (7) [2] (a) log 0.00001 ; (b) 15.

Solution: log 0.00001 = log 10−^5 = − 5 < 15. (7) a. b. c. (8) [2] (a) log 3 2 ; (b) log 2 3.

Solution: log 3 2 < log 3 3 = 1 = log 2 2 < log 2 3. (8) a. b. c. (9) [2] (a) ln 4 − ln 2 ; (b) ln 2. Solution: ln 4 − ln 2 = ln 42 = ln 2. (9) a. b. c. (10) [2] (a) (log 3 2)^3 ; (b) 3 log 3 2. Solution: Since 0 < log 3 2 < 1, (log 3 2)^3 < log 3 2. On the other hand, log 3 2 < 3 log 3 2. (10) a. b. c.

  1. [5] Evaluate log 8 4 by changing the base to 2.

Solution: log 8 4 = log log^22 48 =

  1. [5] Solve 3x+2^ = 9x.

Solution: Take the logarithm with base 3. 3 x+2^ =9x ⇔ log 3 3 x+2^ = log 3 9 x ⇔ x + 2 = x log 3 9 ⇔ x + 2 = 2x ⇔ 2 = x.

Thus x = 2.

  1. [10] Solve e^2 x^ − 5 ex^ + 6 = 0.

Solution: This problem is WeBWorK Assignment 2 #3 which has been done in the discussion class. e^2 x^ − 5 ex^ + 6 = ⇔ (ex^ − 2)(ex^ − 3) = 0 ⇔ ex^ = 2, 3 ⇔ x = ln 2, ln 3.

Thus x = ln 2, ln 3.

  1. [5] Find f −^1 for f (x) = 4 + x^2 (x ≥ 0). You do not have to show that f is one-to-one. Also you do not have to specify the domain of f −^1.

Solution: This problem is a homework problem (Exercise 2-6.37 on page 197 of the textbook), and done in the discussion class. Put y := 4 + x^2.

Then y = 4 + x^2 ⇔ y − 4 = x^2 ⇔

y − 4 = x (since x ≥ 0). Now switch x and y to get y =

x − 4.

Thus f −^1 (x) =

x − 4. Remark: Since it is easy to see that the range of f is [4, +∞), so is the domain of f −^1.

8. [7]

(1) [3] Find W (− 3 π/4). (2) [4] Find all solutions( (^) √ x with − 2 π ≤ x ≤ 2 π such that W (x) = 3 2 ,^ −^

1 2

Solution: (1)

W (− 3 π/4) =

(2) Since the wrapping function is a periodic function with period 2π, i.e., W (x + 2πk) = W (x), k ∈ Z, once you find one solution x = − π 6 which is easy to find, then the others are of the form π 6 + 2πk. But since there is a restriction − 2 π ≤ x ≤ 2 π, there are only 2 solutions:

x = −

π 6

11 π 6

9. [14]

(1) [2] Find the radian measure of the angle 18◦. (2) [2] Find the degree measure of the angle 1356 π radian. (3) [5] Convert the angle 354◦ 6 ′ 36 ′′^ to decimal degrees. (4) [5] Convert the angle 403. 225 ◦^ to degree-minute-second form.

Solution:

(1) 18 · 180 π = 10 π. Thus the answer is

π 10

radian.

(2) 1356 π · (^180) π = 8. Thus the answer is 8 ◦^. (3) This problem is similar to a homework problem (Exercise 5- 3.29 on page 364 of the textbook), but easier. 354 ◦ 6 ′ 36 ′′^ = (354 + 606 + 360036 )◦^ = (354 + 101 + 1001 )◦^ = (354 + 0.1 + 0 .01)◦^ = 354. 11 ◦^. (4) This problem is similar to a homework problem (Exercise 5- 3.33 on page 364 of the textbook), but easier.

  1. 225 ◦^ = 403◦^ + 0. 225 ◦^ = 403◦^ + (60 · 0 .225)′^ = 403◦^ + 13. 5 ′^ = 403 ◦^ +13′^ +0. 5 ′^ = 403◦ 13 ′^ +(60· 0 .5)′′^ = 403◦ 13 ′^ +30′′^ = 403 ◦ 13 ′ 30 ′′^.
